Can Outdoor Agricultural Workers Get Cancer from Roundup Exposure Over Time?
Agricultural workers who mainly work outside are highly susceptible to being exposed to the hazardous and lethal chemicals that make up the Roundup herbicide formula. The main and active ingredients found in the Roundup chemical formula are known to be carcinogenic and cancer causing to humans. This means that the glyphosates in Roundup can cause cancers in the human body.2 Many studies have shown that Roundup is a dangerous and hazardous chemical to use on agriculture, but it is still being used in the United States and globally as a herbicide with crop and weed control. For this reason, the Monsanto and Bayer company has been sued for the personal injuries that people suffer from being exposed to Roundup and its hazardous and dangerous chemical compounds.

Carcinogens Are Dangerous Chemicals That Invade the Human Body After Exposure to Roundup Compounds
When carcinogens such as Roundup are exposed to the human body, they trigger an oxidative stress signal in the body. This produces other free radicals and reactive oxygen species which will overwhelm the body’s ability to provide an antioxidant defense to the chemicals, damaging DNA, proteins and lipids in the human body.1 Although it is easy to describe the process and dangers of Roundup chemicals and the effects of glyphosates on humans, the process of damage to the body is quite complex. When a person is exposed to Roundup hazardous chemicals, the glyphosates and other dangerous chemicals in Roundup formulas will create a cocktail of dangerous oxidative damage markers that cause cancers to form in humans.1 Typically this process is not reversible and it is difficult to fully recover from glyphosate poisoning after being exposed to Roundup chemicals in agricultural and outdoor environments.
