No one should get drenched with ANY pesticide,organic or other wise, and especially go on working in the wet clothes.



Many problems arise when people either do not read or follow the directions and safety statements with many things, ranging from pesticides to know what may or may not be used with an extension cord or size of extension cord.
Yet I've been hearing, since the '80's at least, that roundup is safe enough to drink just like the scientist says in this article. Safe enough to spray wearing shorts according to my city's lands management office.

If that's what people have been told by employers and scientists and they believe it who is really at fault?
