A National Institute of Health report showed paraquat users developed Parkinson’s disease approximately 2.5 times more than non-users.

Banned or Phased Out in Over 30 Countries

Paraquat is one of only two pesticides still in use in the United States that has been banned or is being phased out in over 30 countries, including England, the European Union, Brazil. Switzerland and China.
