The Negative Effects of Roundup Weed Killer

Roundup is popularly sold throughout the U.S. and is used heavily for agriculture and gardening purposes. Although 300 million pounds of it are used in the U.S. annually, it has negative effects on human health. The active ingredient in Roundup weed killer is glyphosate. Studies show that exposure to glyphosate can increase a person’s risk of getting cancer. Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is the most common form of cancer shown in those exposed to large amounts of Roundup. If you’ve been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and you think your diagnosis is related to Roundup exposure, you may be eligible for a settlement. A Roundup lawyer from Craig Swapp & Associates can help you file a lawsuit and seek justice for your suffering. 

How Exposure to Roundup Can Affect Your Life

You may get exposed to Roundup if you work in the agriculture industry or if you use Roundup regularly when gardening. Even though Roundup has sparked many lawsuits because of the dangerous side effects associated with the brand, the product is still sold in thousands of stores throughout the country. When Roundup is used prevalently in farming, glyphosate can end up in drinking water and food products. If you are diagnosed with cancer because of Roundup weed killer, your life can be changed forever. Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma can result in undesirable symptoms such as abdominal pain, chest pain, coughing, fatigue, and unexplained weight loss. This cancer has no known cure.
