Farm equipment belonging to lifelong farmer Mac Barlow sets on his family farm in Opp, Ala., Monday, Dec. 8, 2025. In 2022, Mac was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, which he believes was caused by chronic exposure to a pesticide called paraquat and is part of a national lawsuit against Syngenta, the company that manufactures the chemical.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, EPA, will be reassessing the safety of paraquat, a toxic weed killer that’s been banned in dozens of countries but remains legal in America, the agency’s administrator Lee Zeldin announced last week.
