Was also exposed to it all the time in his visits to greenhouses and working on his personal tree farm that he had.
Should probably figure out a way to sue those evil Monsanto ****ers.

I was doing foreign invasive spraying for the ny parks department a couple of years ago all over the 5 boroughs. Used accord xrt II (round up lol) for mugwort and Garlon 4 ultra for Japanese knotweed. In ny you have to fill out a spread sheet for the dep online every January with quantities, chemicals and locations. Somebody made a map of New York with a red skull and crossbones over every area where round up was applied. It was fire engine red and engulfed in skulls
and crossbones.
Roundup is bad, but I’ve sprayed and taken a bath with gramoxone when I was in my 20’s, which is way more nasty shit than roundup. Same with that garlon 4 shit for vines. Luckily I haven’t actually sprayed that shit since the mid 90’s. When I was in ny I just observed and watched them mix and spray, while being paid ny prevailing wage.
