<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>One never knows who might be a shill--or a well-
(or ill-) intentioned shot-from-the-hip type. My experience with this chemical
in ecosystem restoration practice has been all bad, but even I won't throw the
baby out with the bathwater on a rumor (and I find glyphosate useful for
spot-painting certain perennials. However, used as a general spray, it does more
damage than good. That would also add to the exposure risk. A coarse,
low-pressure spray that does not aerosolize the material or application by wick
material should be the only way any herbicide is applied. </FONT></DIV>

paper identifies a whole range of medical issues linked to (presumably) one
active ingredient makes me suspicious; it would seem to be much more realistic
that a study on the potential ill-effects of an already rigorously studied,
very well-known and contentious chemical and product, would turn up perhaps a
single significant linkage between ill-health and
glyphosate.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
