you can even drink Roundup.

Another plea for more grant money by the ‘scientists’. I’m sure that many here used to be engulfed in the spray as kids and all is well in their families.

Oh and you can drink glyphosate - you may get sick to your stomach. I’m sure you are thinking of the retail stuff which is 3-6%. However, a 40gal commercial barrel of glyphosate is up to 46%; then diluted for use back to 3-6%.

A few years back 7 people drank the undiluted 46% glyphosate in an attempt to commit suicide, 6 had very bad stomach aches and one actually died, but it was his 4th attempt.

Unless you are a plant and have plant genes, glyphosate unlikely to kill you, since glyphosate targets specific plant genes.

I bought a 2.5-gallon jug of 46% glyphosate for $55 bucks from Tractor Supply recently. That’s enough to last me for many years. Beats the pants off Round-Up for $20 a quart.

The same stuff just doesn’t have some of the fast-acting salts added to the Round-Up formulation. Kills em dead, just a little slower.

Oh, and I have a mosquito fogger too! How on earth am I still here?

But there does seem to be a problem -

“Diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma after using Roundup (glyphosate) weed killer? “

It actually kills the Flora in the intestines. Roundup is poison. I still remember the label telling users not to use it in the vegetable garden, and if you did to allow one year of letting it lay fallow before growing edibles once more.
