Roundup looks like it dried on my skin, now i have sensation/pain

Posted , 5 users are following.

I don't normally use Round up , maybe a few to several times a year but I had a s****y situation. I had used a new backpack sprayer a few times in a row then it started to leak on me. It went down my left pant leg and seemed to have gotten my backside and outer leg area. I didn't have a change of clothes or was able to take a shower unless I went home which would have been the smart thing. I didn't stick my hand down my pants to feel if my skin was wet because it didn't feel like it. The pants were kinda stiff and baggy so I figured not much was touching me . I showered about 3 hours later and then started reading up on round up more and tried to take a hot shower to open up my pores and maybe extract any of it or just clean it better.

This was about a week or two ago. I started feeling sensations in my leg, read alot of stuff online and one scary story was how it ate through muscle, nerves and bone. I don't have any visible issues with my skin but I do have weird sensation that comes and goes to the areas of where it could have been wet. I called the doctor and they were no help. I asked if I could be tested for toxins and other things but they didn't seem to care much or have answers.

I was using Roundup PROMAX with 3 gallons of water in the tank with anywhere from 10-18 oz of roundup in those 3 gallons. I can't remember how much I used on that exactly I don't know how diluted it was when it dripped on me and I'd say maybe a cup liquid had dripped and got on my pants before I noticed.

It's seems like I'm basically screwed. I haven't tried to sweat it out or anything but is that even and option?, I can eat certain things, I can try and detox my body, I can go for some test maybe? Any advice or info or more information from me let me know , thanks.

    Why don't you contact the manufacturer? They can be very helpful.

    Hi I would find a specialist in this area and go from there. Did you contact poison control? There may be a phone number on bottle. Good luck!

    I called the toxic hotline and they weren't much help either . Said to see my doctor and get blood work.
