Yesterday I wanted to sit outside to get some respite, in the garden in the sun... BUT....I went outside and immediately the highly pungent stink of Roundup weed killer 'on the air' wafted over me to such an extent I felt nauseous. I was obliged to sit in side virtually all day...

I was furious.

It's levels of toxicity are so eye-watering stratospheric, no exaggeration of epithet can do it justice, as it permanently poisons the ground it touches, that it's probably the root cause indirectly to so many of us getting ill... That smelling this was the last straw!

Today looking out from the upstairs bathroom window, I saw the tell tale green bottle on my neighbours's garden table! I had not imagined it!

Please everybody desist from using this product, quite apart from its extreme toxicity for your own health, please think of others and do not deploy it at this current time of close confinement when it floats over our gardens in a cloud!

Thank-you

Poppy the 🐈... feeling somewhat toxic!

Glyphosate Kills bees, causes cancer. ☠️

Your neighbour is an idiot.

Monsanto are still lobbying & promoting its use. 👹

Sadly Ignorance and Want, but ignorance in this case proliferate, as Dickens described them clinging to the robes of Christmas in his Christmas Carol...

Ignorance is a killer...

It has been proven to cause cancer, and there it is in supermarkets!

This is the ironic thing, be quarantined and be made afraid of a flu virus but able to go shopping and buy toxic cancer causing food and drink and talc and spray weeds. Oh and then there is the 5G being turned on in more cities.

On the plus side the skies are clear as they are not spraying poison!

The disease covid-19, to which I think you are referring, is NOT flu.

No, Coronavirus Isn't 'Just Like The Flu'. Here Are The Very Important Differences

That appears to imply what we are being quarantined and made afraid of flu. In the current circumstances, of actual quarantining, I think most readers would think you were regarding covid-19 as a form of flu.

I did NOT type the words “just like” so please refrain from misquoting me.

Thank you

Chippysue, helvella did not 'misquote you'. He was quoting the title of the article he linked to in his comment to you.

Please excuse me for stepping in here, but while it is absolutely correct that you did not use the word ‘just like’, you do seem to have been minimising the risks of Covid-19, which is not wise. Many people on here have multiple co-morbidities and are thus very vulnerable. It is hard to be, like myself, stuck indoors for going on three weeks without seeing a living soul but playing it down will not help us to carry on. I do hope that you Keep well, I sympathise with your situation it is no fun with thoughtless neighbours and I am in. Complete agreement about Roundup. Stuff of the devil!
