What Proof Do You Need for a Winning Los Angeles Roundup Lawsuit?

People who are exposed to Roundup have health issues after the exposure. Many times, your exposure to the toxins in Roundup can send you to an urgent clinic, a hospital or to your healthcare provider because these harsh chemicals are likely to make you quite ill. Research studies have reviewed that human biomonitoring of exposure to Roundup shows that it can be found in human urine and plasma in the body, after exposure to the herbicide. One of the powerful active ingredients in Roundup is glyphosate. Glyphosate is used as a herbicide globally, and scientists can monitor the level of dangerous exposures to humans by measuring the amount of the toxin in human saliva, urine and blood.¹

The main metabolite, the aminomethylphosphonic acid in glyphosate, can now be monitored to show the level of exposure to Roundup products.¹ This means that your healthcare provider can test you and determine your level of exposure to the toxins in Roundup. If your diagnosis to your ongoing medical issues is related to glyphosate and other Roundup chemicals, you are well on your way to “proving” you have medical problems related to exposure to Roundup toxins.
