The Connection Between Paraquat© and Parkinson’s is Revealed

Paraquat® has quickly become one of the most commonly used herbicide formulas in the U.S. due to the resistance weeds have built up to other herbicide products.

In response to evidence pointing to the dangers of Paraquat®, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) now requires thorough training for those using this harmful chemical while the European Union has outright banned it entirely.

For agricultural workers who may have developed Parkinson’s or a similar condition, some of the most common symptoms include:

Trouble sleeping
Trouble moving
Trouble walking
Tremors
Dizziness, fainting
Stooping, hunching over
Loss of smell
Masked face

Many of the major chemical companies that manufacture Paraquat® and similar herbicides containing Paraquat® chose not to warn agricultural workers about the dangers of exposure before these victims developed Parkinson’s or similar conditions.

Reports and studies have shown the potential for agricultural workers developing Parkinson’s from Paraquat® that manufacturers of the popular herbicide chose not to warn the public about.

A wide range of research using Paraquat® on mice has demonstrated some shocking evidence that Paraquat® can be dangerous to agricultural workers and their families.

Parkinson’s News Today revealed that, “Paraquat has been linked to a higher Parkinson’s risk by its association with that disorder among agricultural workers exposed to this pesticide, and through studies showing that it can kill dopamine-producing neurons in mice.”¹

Also, a U.S. News & World Reports article revealed that the rate of Parkinson’s disease continues to rise–from 2.5 million people in 1990 to 6.1 million people by 2016.

American Scientist magazine quotes the following statistics:

A 1998 study revealed the risk of developing the disease was 170 times greater for farmers than non-farmers
A 2004 study revealed the rates of Parkinson’s are 2x-4x higher in the countryside than in other parts of the state
According to a 2017 study, country areas of France have significantly higher rates of Parkinson’s than urban areas²

We believe that the agricultural workers who develop Parkinson’s after exposure to Paraquat® should have an opportunity to face the manufacturer and get the compensation they deserve for the lifetime of care that they’ll need.
