Some are bad, but you generally need a licence to buy those. Most of the regular ones they sell to everyone & anyone has about the same harmful numbers as gasoline. So, how do you handle gasoline? We shouldn't inhale the vapors, and contact with skin is bad for you..... Did you ever spill any when refueling the lawnmower? Did you ever spill enough gas to make a brown spot on the lawn? We should be handling gasoline & weed spary labeled 'caution' the same way, as they are about equally harmful. Technically, it's not good for you. How excited & reactionary need we be about it? Everyone's personal call I guess. I wear rubber gloves (90% of the time) & eye shielding when I handle the concentrated stuff. I don't wear my contacts the days I spray. But then I don't panic if I contact some either. But, each product is different, be ware of the really bad ones. Some absorb through the skin & put you out right quick. I'm glad I don't handle the stuff every single day - they - some, not all - can build up in your system over time from smaller exposures. Also glad I don't work in a gasoline refinery plant either. Doesn't bother me to go to the fertilizer plant to get fertilizer - but I don't think I could work there every day & inhale that caustic stuff! --->Paul
