Paraquat and Parkinson’s Disease

Several studies link long-term paraquat exposure to developing Parkinson’s disease. These studies propose that paraquat increases Parkinson’s disease risk by creating oxidative stress that damages and kills neurons that produce dopamine. Here is a  comprehensive resource about this toxic chemical that covers topics like what it is used for, its link to Parkinson’s disease, symptoms, side effects, treatment, and possible legal remedies.
