Also FWIW, I have seen my share of pyrethrin/pyrethroid/permethrin
toxicity, metaldehyde toxicity, organochlorine toxicity, carbamate
toxicity, organophosphate toxicity, ethylene glycol toxicity, ethanol
toxicity, tetrahydrocannabinol toxicity, a couple of cocaine and
amphetamine toxicities, many many prescription drug toxicities... but I
have never seen a case of glyphosate/Roundup toxicity.
