I've been a professional pesticide applicator for 34 years. I have applied mostly herbicides, a few insecticides. I have been covered in glyphosate many many times, as well as other herbicides. Save rubbing some 2,4-D in my eye one day, I have never had one ill affect from a pesticide. I personally know hundreds of applicators, and they are as healthy as anyone else. I do not personally know anyone who has gotten cancer from a pesticide. I have personally worked with chemical company people for decades. I do not know any one of them who believes the products they sell are harmful in any way if used according to the label. I have personally worked with people at EPA, and found them to be competent and caring. I work with state university extension people who to a person believe the products are safe if used correctly. It is very disappointing to see people toss aside volumes of research and testing to accuse glyphosate of harming people. If pesticides were actually a health hazard, it should be a simple matter to do a study of people like me and many YTers and see if in fact we are less healthy than our non-applicator peers. This type of study was done 20 years ago and found that pest control technicians had lower cancer rates in every category except one. If we lose glyphosate it will be a disaster.
