My husband Don used "Round-up" weed killer in the yard for years. Although he covered everything but his hands and his nose, I have always felt that may have had something to do with his getting MDS - possibly through inhaling it. He was in the insurance business for over 30 years so I don't think that was the cause.
He strongly disagrees with this thought. However, about a year ago there was an article about Round-up that specifically stated 2 diseases that could be caused by exposure to Round-up, which contains Benzene - and one of the two diseases listed was MDS. I read it after his diagnosis in 2008 and after I had wondered if it had something to do with his disease.
Take care and God Bless,
Sally
