Avocats nationaux en paraquat\/maladie de Parkinson<\/span><\/h2>\n

La plupart des gens n'ont probablement jamais entendu parler du MPTP (m\u00e9thyl ph\u00e9nyl t\u00e9trahydropyridine). Cette substance, qui est li\u00e9e \u00e0 analg\u00e9siques opio\u00efdes<\/a>, destroys dopamine and other brain cells, especially in the cerebral cortex, triggering symptoms which greatly resemble Parkinson\u2019s disease. In fact, researchers often use MPTP to study the effects of Parkinson\u2019s disease and hopefully find a cure.<\/p>\n

Until the mid-1990s, scientists believed that only people who used heroin and other illegal drugs risked substantial MPTP exposure. Then, in 1997, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that paraquat, a commercial herbicide, was the primary vehicle for transmitting high levels of MPTP. Subsequent studies revealed that people who lived within 1,600 feet (about five football fields) of farms which used paraquat had a 75 percent higher chance of developing Parkinson\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n

Despite the strong evidence linking paraquat to serious health problems, chemical companies continued to sell it, making hundreds of millions of dollars. These companies are determined to hold onto this market, regardless of the adverse health effects. So, if you or a loved one was injured, you need an equally determined paraquat\/Parkinson\u2019s attorney from Naples Chkolnik<\/a> de votre c\u00f4t\u00e9. Outre le courage requis, nous avons \u00e9galement les ressources et l'exp\u00e9rience n\u00e9cessaires pour affronter de grands conglom\u00e9rats chimiques. Nous les avons combattus auparavant et avons gagn\u00e9 haut la main. Laissez-nous nous battre pour vous aussi.<\/p>\n

Utilisations du paraquat<\/span><\/h3>\n

This chemical, which first appeared in the early 1960s, is one of the most widely used herbicides in the world. Technically, the government regulates its use. However, almost everyone who completes a paraquat safety course can spray as much as they want. Paraquat is very effective. It also becomes completely inert when it touches soil.<\/p>\n

Essentially, paraquat is a step up from Roundup. Once weeds become immune to glyphosate, farmers typically use paraquat. Roundup is well-known for its health hazards. Bayer recently agreed to pay $2 billion to cover medical bills for Roundup exposure victims. Since paraquat is even stronger, the risks are even higher.<\/p>\n

Paraquat et maladie de Parkinson<\/span><\/h3>\n

Parkinson\u2019s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder in which brain cells progressively die. Symptoms of the disease include tremors, rigidity, extreme slowness of movement and impaired balance. Other symptoms such as swallowing and speaking difficulties may be common, and people who are affected may experience non-motor symptoms as well.\u00a0 Literature has suggested a markedly increased risk of Parkinson\u2019s Disease among those who had exposure to Paraquat.<\/p>\n

In addition to the physical problems mentioned above, inhalation of paraquat also causes cognitive symptoms which mimic Parkinson\u2019s disease. These symptoms include:<\/p>\n
