glyphosate is less toxic than caffeine in humans.
if you chug a bottle of glyphosate youll get sick from the surfactants (basically dishsoap) long before youll be able to get a dangerous dose of the herbicide.
you know not whereof you speak.

LD50 for glyphosate is 5000mg/kg.
the most dangerous part of glyphosate is the possibility that if spilled on a hard surface someone may slip and fall on their butt.
Everytime I read one of your posts I laugh at your ignorance... Honestly there are children out there that can research and present better arguments than you.
You're proof positive the Glyphosphates can fuck your neurons... Did you prove it's safety by ingesting it? Are you that stupid to think the danger it poses is limited to a trip hazzard?
Only a full retard would think an MSDS suffices in defence of your position.
