So here's the big question. Have you all stopped using Glyphosate?

I do most all my own spraying bugs and weeds etc
What about the yard spray guys? Their exposure is probably 1000x the normal DIY person. Do they all die from chemical exposure?
Msma, 2,4-d, glyphosate, you name it, they spray it

Glyphosates are a first cousin to Agent Orange. I am a Vietnam Vet and suffer from long term effects of Agent Orange.
Adding to that there are more than a few farmers who have Non-Hodgkin lymphoma as a result of using glyphosates. I attending the funeral of my step daughter's father in law after use of glyphosates. He died of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
I'm a retired manufacturing engineer and now goat rancher and farmer.
When using glyphosates, use commonsense and wear PPE (Personal Protective Equipment). Also minimize the use of it.

To win a reward you have to show/prove damage...
I wonder how long before there are warnings on the RU packaging...?

Best post to this thread so far.
All of the money in the world won't extend this guy's life. All that an appeal will do is ensure that any award will happen long after he's dead.
When I used to spray power line R/W's, one of the owners would pick and eat wild strawberries on every break. Not that he couldn't get enough of them, he just wanted to show that the herbicides were harmless.

I used to keep an eye cup, and besides showering at the end of every day I would wash my eyes.

Awards like that don't happen here as a payout is based on earning potential with a bit of a bonus for pain and suffering but I shall be more wary of roundup in future when spraying.
