Barbara MonacoParaquat, a dangerous herbicide banned in 70 countries, is blamed for severe birth defects and other serious health problems. It's still used widely in the US. <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Paraquat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Paraquat</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/birthdefects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birthdefects</a> <a href="https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/california-paraquat-health-harms-20014040.php" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/california-paraquat-health-harms-20014040.php</a>

Many countries have banned the herbicide due to its extreme <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/toxicity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#toxicity</a>, while others have expressed concerns over the possible risk for Parkinson's disease."Yet the herbicide, manufactured by a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Swiss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Swiss</a> company that is owned by the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Chinese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chinese</a> state, is still widely used throughout the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UnitedStates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UnitedStates</a> in part because it is a highly effective way to kill weeds. "The company, Syngenta, says that paraquat, which it produces under the name Gramoxone, 'is safe for its intended and labelled use.'"Clayton Tucholke, who used Gramoxone for years on his farm in LaBolt, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SouthDakota" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SouthDakota</a>, and has since been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, says otherwise."'It should have been pulled, I think, you know, so it didn't happen to somebody else,' Tucholke told ABC News."A 76-year-old father and grandfather, Tucholke lived on his farm with his wife Denise, but as the symptoms of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Parkinson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Parkinson</a>'s have worsened, he says he was forced to give up his career in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/agriculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#agriculture</a> and had to move to the nearby town of Milbank to be closer to medical professionals."Daily tasks have become arduous for Tucholke, who now has to travel to physical therapy three times a week to slow the progression of his symptoms."'This man was so independent,' Denise Tucholke said. 'And his independence has been taken from him, which is unfair.'"The Tucholkes are among the more than 4,000 Americans who have filed lawsuits as part of a multi-district litigation against <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Syngenta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Syngenta</a>, which currently manufactures <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gramoxone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gramoxone</a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Chevron" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chevron</a>, which distributed it in the U.S. from 1966 until 1986."Although Syngenta and Chevron told ABC News that there is no scientific evidence that supports a causal link between <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/paraquat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#paraquat</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Parkinsonsdisease" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Parkinsonsdisease</a>, the Tucholkes and other plaintiffs allege that such a link exists, arguing that Syngenta and Chevron knew or should have known that the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/herbicide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#herbicide</a> could 'cause severe <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/neurological" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neurological</a> injuries.'"'Our daughter and son-in-law are still <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/farming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#farming</a>.
