How Long Does It Take to Get Cancer After Roundup Exposures?
Roundup herbicide is one of the most heavily utilized weedkillers in the world today. The International Agency for Research on Cancer or IARC is an agency that routinely investigates the effects of Roundup on humans. The IARC found that the active ingredient of glyphosate in Roundup herbicide is a cancer-causing ingredient to humans. This means that if you are exposed to Roundup chemicals, you are at a high risk of developing a cancer or other cancerous types of tumors from that exposure.

How Long Does It Take to Develop a Roundup Cancer?
This is a difficult question to answer, especially since every person is different and our bodies respond differently to chemical exposures. For example, even if two twins with identical
DNA makeups get exposed to Roundup, each twin is an individual and that person’s body will respond separately to an exposure to the glyphosates in Roundup. You will not have one list of time schedules that you will use to determine how long it takes to develop cancer in your body, from an exposure to Roundup. Rather you will start having issues with various organs in your body breaking down and developing chronic diseases that also include cancer. This means that your exposure to the chemicals in Roundup will significantly increase your risk of developing any type of cancer in your body, as an effect of the Roundup exposure.
Studies show that if you have an exposure of Roundup over 2 days in a year, you are greatly increasing your risk by 2-fold that you will develop a cancer related to this exposure.1 The exposure can mean that you are working near the Roundup, are handling the Roundup or are in an environment where you are susceptible to breathing in the Roundup chemicals. You should remember that no exposure to Roundup is considered to be “safe” exposure, and that any time you are exposed to harsh and dangerous conditions and chemicals you are risking getting cancer or other chronic diseases as a result of that exposure.
