Were you aware of how toxic herbicide is to humans?

Apparently, just drinking a sip of it will shut down all of your organs and kill you within days.

Glysophate is in Roundup everywhere. Is bad for you.

Yes, and we stopped using it.

It’s in virtually all herbicides. Yes, I would imagine that drinking it would kill you.

Yes but it’s an effective weed killer so I would help a disabled friend tend to his lawn in secret behind his wife’s back who disapproves. They are in their early 60s no kids nor pets in the house.

I was also shocked when I learned how toxic that particular class of herbicides is. It’s not exactly surprising though, considering it’s specifically designed to cause cell death. Handy to have to activated charcoal paste on hand, huh? As usual with chubbyemu videos, the situation described is a rare confluence of mistakes and circumstances.

Agent Orange, infamous during the Vietnam conflict, is a mixture of 2 herbicides.
