How does drowning in water relate to "Experimentally induced inhalation of Roundup by rats produced 100% mortality in 24 hours." Or do you just naturally take a contrary view, regardless how stupid? Are you talking about inhaling the fumes or mist, Fumes and mist. Loz was implying you would need to inhale so much you would drown in it! Clearly nonsense. rather than partial drowning in the liquid itself. It's hard to imagine someone accidentally inhaling Roundup as a liquid? Quite. I've accidentally inhaled the mist, when spraying weeds in my yard and it doesn't seem to have any effect. Well if you are prepared to put yourself on the line, because it "seems" OK, your choice. Let us know how you get on 10 years down the line, with all these things that "appear" to be OK. That's the trouble, many people are short sighted, they are unable to connect what they do now, with what happens in the future to them. Smoking a typical example. Unlike when I spray insecticide, which I do only once a year, or every other year if the insects aren't too many. I have to shower immediately afterwards and learned not to walk barefoot in the yard while doing it, as it made me feel sick just in the time it took to spray my little yard. And yet you are prepared to spray that on stuff you eat? seems daft to me. This is what has been happening in farming though, we have been sprayed from pillar to post with this junk, and everything is suffering, especially us. Plants are full of insecticides but I suppose you eat them all the time. Seems daft to me. FWIW when tested using the same mechanisms as for man-made pesticides, 50% of the naturally evolved pesticides tested were found to cause cancer including chemicals in brocolli, lettuce and coffee. Either the tests are wrong, or plants are just as dangerous as the man-made chemicals you complain about and are actually more dangerous than ones that havent been shown to cause cancer. A plant is a plant, we cant do anything about it's substance, but we can stop adding toxins to it. -- So, you dont like reasoned, well thought out, civil debate?
