I guess everyone knows not to burn poison ivy?? The smoke, even from a long
distance can severely damage a susceptable person's lungs and land them in
the hospital with serious problems. I have seen it happen.

My understanding is tha Roundup biodegrades rapidly after it is mixed withwater.
If you leave some in the sprayer all mixed for a few days you will find itdoes not work anymore.
A normal spraying of 2-4-D washes into the soil and will migrate withinthe soil over a long period of time, but tests have shown that it moves very
slowly and in a normal soil (not sand) it will be many years before any
shows up in the water table.

One question that bounces around in my head is what happens after you
Roundup first came up it was supposed to "bind to the soil particles", this
doesn't make me overly comfortable, but perhaps it prevents it from washing
into streams or the water table.
conditions be "reabsorbed" into air and drift (I'm not talking about wind
2,4-D is highly toxic to grapes, and it can, under certain atmospheric
driven drift at the time of spraying). Since it is a broad-leafed weed
killer, it has been popular for corn.
using oral imunization methods for years now.
Whlie our FDA does not monitor it, the European medical community has been
