What's The Latest On Roundup Herbicide?
Hi (paghat)! If I remember
correctly, you wrote in
news
Okay, what Billo said precisely that unless "lethal doses" of
glyphosate were used, it is no more dangerous than table salt. He
said it. Nothing less than a lethal dose.
No. He indicated that table salt is *also* lethal when given in high
enough doses.
Technically, everything is "safe" unless taken in lethal doses. The
lethal dose for some things is such a small amount that often even a
mere whiff of it can kill. The lethal dose of other things is so
large that it is unlikely that a person will reasonably ingest that
quantity -- water is one such.
The lethal dosage of glysophate is not the dosage that is recommended
on the label, so if used properly, glysophate is not lethal.
Unless, of course, you have found peer-reviewed documentation that
says that the amount of glphyosate to be used per the instructions
is, in fact, lethal. Have you found that?
