Glyphosate awareness - Drugwatch
Drugwatch is a free web resource committed to ensuring the safety of families and providing vital health information, targetted at American audiences, but still very relevant to the UK. They say:
"Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, is one of the most commonly used herbicides in the world by commercial gardeners. It is found to be highly toxic and can cause many short-term and long-term health effects. Not to mention it can be harmful to important pollinators such as honey bees and other beneficial insects when they come into contact with the herbicide. This toxicity can result in impaired mobility, disorientation, and increased mortality among pollinators.
To help educate those in the farming and gardening industries about this toxic chemical, we've created two comprehensive guides. They cover things like what it is used for, symptoms, and possible health risks. Please take a look:
Thank you."
