Here, we’ll take a look at exactly what you need to know in order to differentiate between herbicides and pesticides: it’s not always as simple as you’d think.
If you or a loved one are showing symptoms of Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma or have been diagnosed with the condition, it’s normal to have questions about what symptoms are related to lymphoma and how your body developed cancer.
If you or a loved one were harmed by using Roundup Weedkiller you could be entitled to compensation.
Here, we’ll explore the symptoms and causes of Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, as well as what you can do next if you think you may have developed the condition as a result of exposure to certain chemicals.
The lymphatic system supports the body’s ability to fight off germs that cause infections and illness. Normally, white blood cells in the body work to fight infection and disease. When a person develops non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, white blood cells do not grow normally. These cells, called lymphocytes, can result in the formation of tumors.
There are several types of Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, including waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, cutaneous t-cell lymphoma, cutaneous B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia. These cancers are known as lymphoid neoplasms. While many types of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma share characteristics, they can impact the body differently and can be unique in the ways they respond to treatment.
The symptoms of Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma differ from patient to patient, and can change with time. Some people who have the condition may only exhibit a few symptoms, while others may exhibit many symptoms.
It can be hard to determine what causes some people to develop cancer, while others do not. Some people who have several risk factors for Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma never develop the disease, and some people who have few risk factors do develop the disease. If you have risk factors for Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and are concerned for your health, it’s smart to talk with your physician about next steps to learn more about your cancer status.
Risk factors for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma can include:
Sadly, Roundup weed killer is still available for residential use. In 2023, the chemical will no longer be available for residential use, but will still be sold commercially, putting farmers, their employees, and people who live near farms at risk of being exposed to glyphosate, the concerning chemical in the herbicide.
Bayer, the parent company of Roundup, states that their decision to pull the product from the shelves is purely to manage the risk of litigation, not to protect consumers from glyphosate exposure, despite research that indicates that the chemical is a likely carcinogen to humans.

Glyphosate, the main chemical found in the herbicide Roundup has been known for years to be hazardous to both people and the environment yet it is still widely used today in both agriculture development and personal gardening.
Bayer has already paid $11 billion in personal injuries settlements and trial verdicts amid claims that the product causes non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
