Multiple studies indicate that Paraquat exposure increases the risk of developing Parkinson’s. 

Paraquat is one of the most common herbicides used throughout agriculture. The chemical is often sprayed on crops to kill weeds and control pests. How does this affect you?

The EPA has determined that Paraquat can be very dangerous if it comes into contact with skin or eyes because it may cause a number of problems, including respiratory paralysis. If ingested, the chemical can also cause damage to organs like lungs and kidneys as well as potential blindness. In 2016, a lawsuit was filed against Syngenta AG for not warning consumers about the dangers associated with using Paraquat, which included ocular injuries from exposure and skin lesions through contact with clothing or shoes that had been exposed to Paraquat.
