Can Roundup Cause Contact Dermatitis on Your Skin That Can Make You Sick and Lead to Cancer?
Why Does Contact with Glyphosates from Roundup Chemicals on Your Skin Make You Sick?
Glyphosates can be seriously hazardous to human skin. Our skin was not meant to come into contact with hazardous chemicals, and the skin’s ability to fight off a chemical can make your entire body weak for the effort. For this reason, the glyphosate chemicals in Roundup can splash onto your skin and make you sick. This means that you can get very sick if you are exposed to glyphosate chemicals and it touches your skin in any way. Besides getting contact dermatitis and other rashes, the glyphosates in Roundup can create other problems in your body. By being exposed to glyphosates on your skin, you can have problems with cytotoxicity and other serious issues in your body. This will be a problem if you experience the following symptoms from skin exposure to Roundup, such as:1
- Skin disorders
