Paraquat is a dangerous commercial weed killer, that can cause serious problems in humans after exposure. In 2022, the EPA prevented any more companies manufacturing paraquat, because of the high levels of toxins related in this herbicide. Many businesses still use paraquat, or have back stores of it in their warehouses, to kill weeds at commercial properties. That is how you can be exposed accidentally to paraquat today, because it is still being used in the commercial landscaping businesses across the country. Unfortunately, people can be injured seriously by paraquat. For this reason, there can be serious symptoms related to paraquat exposure, including:

Can Paraquat Exposure Be Reversed with an Antidote, If Accidental Ingestion or Exposure Occurs?
Unfortunately, there is no antidote for accidental ingestion and poisoning of paraquat. The people who take it internally usually die from their internal injuries, and all that can be done is to make the person comfortable. In some cases, if you get to the hospital quick enough, such as within an hour of ingesting paraquat, a nasogastric suction procedure may be used to help save the person’s life. Other supportive measures for paraquat poisoning can include the following healthcare services, such as:
- Offering intravenous fluids
- Offering medication to lower blood pressure
- Ventilator support
- Medications to support breathing better
- Dialysis for potential kidney failure
