Subject: please do ban it: Bill 91 Banning Glyphosate in parks
Please do ban glyphosate in parks, and further, please do ban it on roadsides. I personally am sensitive to Roundup. I
have to drive with my windows shut and take daily medication due to my exposure on the roads of our county.
However this is not the only reason we should stop using it. If even a small percentage of the possible harm attributed
to round-up is true, then we should not be saturating our roadsides with it. People walk there. Children sit there
waiting for their busses. We are in the midst of a pandemic and one of the possible side effects of this stuff is to lower
immunity.
How do I know that? Well it is personal. At the age of 711 have lived most of my life in Waimea on the big island. I
have been sick as long as 3 months after an inadvertent exposure to the county spray truck. That will not convince you
because of course it is not fully documented, but after experiencing this multiple times, I am personally convinced.
My symptoms are predominantly respiratory but if I touch it I also get a rash that lasts for months.
However I do not expect my own experience to convince you. I would like you to consider the following document
which appeared on a government website:

When the honorable council member who voted against this ban said he didn't think we were qualified to judge the
harmfulness of this stuff,perhaps he would consider other experts?please check out the links above. France has
banned it. Lawsuits are ramping up. The county should protect itself financially even if it doesn't care enough to
protect its citizens from personal harm. Schools banned peanut butter because it harms a few. Please consider that as
well. It is just so galling to be chronically poisoned by my own government, however convenient this stuff might be.
Thank you,
