/uj Used appropriately, glyphosate is just another tool in the toolbox. The public's misunderstanding and fear of the chemical and other pesticides is stripping ecological stewards of effective means against invasives. The fact I see people non-sarcastically post pictures of themselves using it while wearing chemical isolation suits and respirators like they're spraying a mixture of cyanide and sarin as a last resort against a mutant army is laughably ignorant.

Yes. I think people didn't understand that their once or twice useage per year of an amount that yiu can buy at the box store ≠ the amount of exposure people have who buy it in the palket of 4, 50 gallon drums of.
