Masks On. Toxins Gone. - LIVE webinar

Beneath the daily routine of farming, there’s a growing concern - exposure to herbicides and pesticides is linked to Parkinson’s, a progressive neurological disorder that’s the second most common after Alzheimer’s and the fastest-growing worldwide.

Studies worldwide have shown that chemicals like paraquat, heptachlor, and rotenone - commonly used in agriculture - can increase Parkinson’s risk by up to 200 - 600%, depending on exposure levels. This risk extends beyond farmers to those also living near application areas.

Hear from Dr Daniel McGowan, CEO of Cure Parkinson’s NZ as he shares practical steps farmers can take, such as using protective gear, opting for safer alternatives, and monitoring symptoms like tremors or loss of smell for early diagnosis.

Together, we can tackle this for our rural communities!
