    I have done work for a Chemical research Scientist who's job it is to test these sort of health claims. He stated that Glypho is safe for general use. But wouldn't recommend using it all day without atleast gloves, overalls and mask of some sort for field spraying with open cab tractors etc. But for us who only use it for spot spraying etc, there no reason to fear our health over it, but to wear gloves and wash any spills immediately. He says what we use in the shower has worse chemicals in it.

    Don't tell lies like this it's highly cancerous and we should all get at least $290million
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    It's probably the reason why they have labels on these products with directions on how to use it and what PPE to use> Google PPE if you are not sure because you are probably the one who is taking a spray bath in this stuff!!

    There is a reason why it has been banned in other countries but a lot of people don't know why as they have never read the full report then they come out with there own versions of what's wrong with it

    The problem is the chemical will be removed eventually because of the high legal costs involved defending the case. Remember Organochlorines , Heptachlor, Aldrin, Dieldrin, and Chlordane. Used the wrong way and its banned. Roundup will go the same way........one day.

    In Canada a couple of weeks back & roundup is on display but locked up as you need a licence to buy it.
    This was in Home depot, Bunnings equivalent.

    Cheers Fred.
