Does Glyphosate Exposure Cause Detrimental Muscular Health and Functional Limitations in Adults to Make You Sick and Disabled?
Yes, the herbicide glyphosate can cause serious muscular health problems in humans and animals. Once a person is exposed to Roundup and the active ingredient glyphosate, all bets are off because these chemicals are hazardous and dangerous to human health. If you are exposed to Roundup, you can expect to get cancer from the exposure, or even reduced muscular health from this experience. For example, people who are exposed to Roundup can experience symptoms such as:
- Problems stooping and crouching
- Issues kneeling
- Problems carrying items of 10 pounds
- Issues standing up from an armless chair
- Problems ascending ten steps without a pause
- Low grip strength
- Increased physical function limitations

If I Lose Muscular Strength from Roundup Exposure, Will I Ever Get It Back?
This is a serious question that only your doctor can answer for you. The Roundup exposure that affects your muscles is a serious side effect to being exposed to the glyphosate in the Roundup. For example, the muscular reserve energy, normal muscle protein metabolism and reduced acetylcholinesterase can affect humans who are exposed to Roundup.1 Studies show that glyphosate can affect the central nervous system in humans, and also infiltrate the person’s brain barrier to increase inflammation in the body.1 This means that if your brain or bodily neuromuscular functions are detrimentally affected by Roundup, then you may suffer with weakness in your limbs from this exposure.
Will a Person with Lower Limb Weakness Be Declared Disabled After Roundup Exposure?
You may or may not be formally declared disabled after your exposure to Roundup chemicals. But if you are unable to complete the daily tasks of your life, you will feel disabled in more ways than one. For instance, if you are unable to bathe and clothe yourself, you may be declared disabled. But if you are able to care for your daily needs, but are severely limited in what you can do, your disability will be far reaching compared to your life before your Roundup exposure.
