GLYPHOSATE EXPOSURE

The main active ingredient in roundup based products and related generics is glyphosate. In 2015, IARC(International Agency for Research on Cancer) released a statement saying that glyphosate is “probably carcinogenic to humans”. Tests showed that glyohosate caused DNA and other chromosomal damage in human cells. The damage to these cells could potentially lead to different types of blood cancer.

RESULTS OF EXPOSURE AND DIRECT CONTACT

Scientific studies have shown a direct correlation between exposure to the chemical and an increased chance of developing cancer. Landscapers, gardeners, agricultural workers and even home users who have developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma have come forth with the accusation that their cancer was caused by exposure to Roundup. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a cancer that that causes the body to produce too many abnormal lymphocytes. If you have experience any of the symptoms below, after exposure to Roundup, you may need to visit your doctor immediately.
