Long-term health effects of Paraquat Exposure
As discussed above, exposure to paraquat can lead to Parkinson’s disease, including multiple system atrophy, atypical Parkinson’s, and progressive supranuclear palsy.
Developing Parkinson’s disease can cause a variety of unpleasant symptoms. As it causes your brain to lose neurons and the dopamine neurotransmitters produced by these neurons, Parkinson’s disease causes the following symptoms.
- Postural instability or impaired balance
- Shaking movement when relaxing the muscles
- Slowness in voluntary movement and reflexes
- Resistance to passive movement
- Depression
- Apathy
- Cognitive impairment
- Sleep disorders or insomnia
- Constipation
How to Know if You are Eligible to File a Paraquat Lawsuit?
You are eligible for the paraquat lawsuit if you have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease or have had these terrible symptoms after being exposed to the toxic herbicide.
