Farm Worker Roundup Cancer Lawsuit

Agricultural giant, Monsanto, which was bought out by multinational conglomerate Bayer in 2018, was ordered to pay out $289 million worth of damages by a California jury in late 2018. The plaintiff was a 46-year-old groundskeeper that claimed Monsanto’s glyphosate-containing herbicide, Roundup, had caused his terminal non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma as a result of constantly using the product throughout his career.

The plaintiff’s legal team argued that the company has been aware of the toxicity of Roundup for years and yet has failed to recall the item or even warns users about the potential hazards associated with using it. The company is now facing thousands of lawsuits all across the United States from victims alleging that Roundup caused them to develop serious health issues including various forms of cancer.

What Makes Roundup so Toxic?

Roundup is one of the most commonly used herbicides in the world. It contains the key active ingredient glyphosate, which is effective at destroying weeds while allowing plants to flourish. Farms all across America have been using Roundup for decades to help treat their crops.

A 2015 report released by the World Health Organization (WHO) has found links between cancer and glyphosate. Various other agencies have conducted their own studies and come to similar conclusions. The International Agency for Research on Cancer also found connections between the ingredient and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Various countries have already banned Roundup in light of these developments.

Victims should not stay silent about the health issues they have had to endure as a result of being exposed to the dangerous herbicide.

How are people exposed to Roundup?

The widespread use of Roundup has led many to suffer its harmful side effects, especially individuals working on farms or in various positions in the agricultural industry.

Exposure to Roundup and other pesticides typically occurs in three common ways:

Skin Contact: Farm workers typically must mix and apply pesticides, as well as clean-up the equipment used to spray the chemicals. Farm workers face high exposure events such as spills as well. Studies show that the hands and forearms suffer the greatest pesticide exposure but other body parts such as the thighs, chest, and back may also face signification exposure.
Through Ingestion: Ingestion – or oral exposure – often occurs after a farm worker handles a toxic product but fails to wash their hands properly before eating (or smoking). In many instances, pesticides are absorbed when they are improperly stored in unlabeled bottles or food containers, and thus accidentally consumed. When swallowed by mistakes, the chemical can quickly find its way into the bloodstream and cause serious health issues.
Through Inhalation: Farm workers often breathe in toxic pesticides, which can cause serious damage to the nose, throat, and lung tissues. These individuals are often exposed via vapors when sprays are applied in areas in which they are working.

While a small amount of pesticide absorbed in a single exposure will generally not cause illness, it is the absorption of small quantities over long periods of time that end up causing serious chronic illnesses or even death.

Years and years of agricultural work means farm workers have faced continual exposure to the toxic glyphosate in Roundup.
