The Garden Chemical that turned out to be a Toxic Chemical

Rachel Carson wouldn’t be surprised. She wrote Silent Spring in 1962 to warn us about chemical pesticides like DDT that were in common use while ignoring the deadly side effects. Thanks to her, DDT was eventually banned in the U.S. Drugwatch is a free web resource committed to ensuring the safety of families and providing vital health information. Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, is one of the most commonly used herbicides in the world by commercial gardeners. It is found to be highly toxic and can cause many short-term and long-term health effects. Not to mention it can be harmful to important pollinators such as honey bees.

To help educate those in the farming and gardening industries about this toxic chemical, we've created two comprehensive guides. They cover things like what it is used for, symptoms, and possible health risks. Please take a look:
