Re: CULT: Preemergent vs. Postemergent herbicides and health

Betty,

Yep, I guess they were "drinking" it.

I found a toxicology site which says "Ingestion of RoundUp has been shown to
cause "irritation of the oral mucous membrane and gastrointestinal
tract.pulmonary dysfunction, oliguria, metabolic acidosis, hypotension,
leukocytosis and fever.  Monsanto's own toxicologist, Rebecca Tominack,
participated in this study."

Maybe they didn't keel over, nor did they dry up in 2 days... but they
probably didn't make it their nightly cocktail.
