Just to be clear, I'm not endorsing any of the "glove in glove" methods of applying glyphosate.  It was merely an observation.  

Always always follow label directions and use appropriate cautions when using any herbicide, "organic" or not.  Just because something is "organic" doesn't mean it can't hurt you or kill you.
