Default ROUND UP as last resort?

there have been some reports of people having reactions to roundup

spray, but it turns out to be their sensitivity to the "inert"
carrier, not the roundup. glyphosate is kind of like a defective plant
hormone, not an actual poison; not the kind of thing you'd expect a
mammal's biology to notice.


Almost everthing will give a bad reaction to some people. Peanuts will kill
some , look at all the drug interactions and warnings.
While almost anyone can have a bad reaction to Round Up which you point out
could be the "inert" part, glyphostate is not what I would call a deadly
poison to people if it just gets on the skin. When I first started using it
I thouhg if I got just a little on my skin it would make me very sick or
worse. Now I have researched it a little I don't worry if I get some on my
skin.
