Hi Peter
I have a good friend who's been working in Bush regen with Envite for 15 
years, now debilitated with a litany of health problems and leukaemia which 
he and his doctors attribute to Roundup exposure and accidents, though it 
can't be definitively proven. Another friend who worked in mainstream 
horticulture involving regular Roundup use was using a leaky backpack sprayer 
which saturated his clothing and skin resulting in serious illness, skin 
conditions and liver damage which has made it virtually impossible to do any 
full-time work for the past 5 years. Another colleague who started using 
Roundup in Bushregen a few years ago after completing CLM Cert III has now 
stopped using it because he's meeting so many people with health problems 
arising from Roundup exposure.  
While the above is anecdotal, it's really worth checking out Dr Huber's 
research on Roundup and glyphosate
