Paraquat, the weed-killing herbicide that has been linked with causing Parkinson’s disease, has been gaining more and more attention, particularly since the beginning of the year. And if you want to know how this mass tort has developed over the past few months, this episode is for you.

Despite being banned in over thirty countries globally, Paraquat has not been banned yet in the United States. The use of Paraquat in the U.S. has only continued to grow in recent years.
