Whether it causes cancer or not,which it looks like it does, it definitely makes some people sick. Specifically me.I
have been sick for weeks at a time after exposure to the county spray truck.
In addition,the use of the herbicide causes wider and wider ugly spots as it actually encourages the growth of broad-
leafed weeds in the places that were once covered with grass. It everything but then leaves an open space with light
and the weeds grow instead of the grass.
My botany professor at UH used to leave the building before he let us experiment with herbicides. He said the
accumulative exposure was too dangerous for himself.Imagine what it is for the people who have to drive or walk
on our roadways?
Yes,it may be inconvenient and expensive. It is worth it to have a healthier more attractive community.Please move
to more mechanical means.Please do not reserve the right to paint it on tree stumps etc.--it remains harmful and
should be out of our life.
Thank you,
