A Strong Link Between Parkinson’s Disease and Paraquat Paraquat has been associated with many different health conditions. Extensive research has linked exposure to paraquat with Parkinson’s disease. Some studies indicate that people exposed to commonly used agrochemicals like paraquat have a 250% higher risk of developing Parkinson’s. Other research suggests that younger people who have been exposed to paraquat might face an even greater risk. It’s because of these health risks associated with paraquat that this chemical has been banned in the European Union since 2007 and is no longer sold in China. Lawmakers have even introduced legislation that would ban paraquat in the U.S., though it has yet to become law. On the contrary, use of paraquat has more than doubled in the last 10 years in the U.S., which means more people have been exposed to this dangerous chemical. The Health Complications Associated with Paraquat Exposure Exposure to paraquat could have devastating consequences on a person’s health. Those exposed to this pesticide have reported a wide variety of conditions, including: Parkinson’s Disease Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Multiple System Atrophy Corticobasal Syndrome Lewy Body Dementia Essential Tremor In many cases, people who have been exposed to paraquat experience Parkinson’s disease-like symptoms. Those symptoms might include: Slowed movement Rigid muscles Impaired posture/balance Loss of automatic movements such as blinking or smiling Speech/writing changes These symptoms could be signs of Parkinson’s disease or similar disorders that require medical attention. The symptoms could also indicate that a sufferer is experiencing complications linked to paraquat. Who Can Take Legal Action Against Paraquat Manufacturers? Many of the lawsuits being filed against paraquat manufacturers involve people who have worked or lived around farms or performed activities that involved exposure to pesticides. In some cases, workers who handled paraquat directly have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and filed lawsuits. However, many of those affected never directly used or handled paraquat. They were simply near the pesticide for prolonged periods or indirectly exposed. The fact that so many people with any degree of exposure to paraquat have suffered serious illness as a result speaks to the incredible dangers of this pesticide. It also means that the manufacturers of paraquat will have several lawsuits to contend with. At Ferrer, Poirot & Wansbrough, we have years of experience handling these types of cases.
