Deadly For Humans As Well As For The Brush!
Written: Sep 21, 2000
Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
Pros:GREAT ADS. . .IT WILL KILL THE BRUSH, WEEDS, EARTH
Cons:IT CAN KILL YOU WHILE IT DOES ITS JOB!
My brother bought and used RoundUp Brush Killer Concentrate, and nearly died doing it! My brother has a 38 acre plot of brushy area, high on a mountain, on Maui that he keeps for future investment reasons. He decided he'd just clear off a lot of that thick brush by putting this concentrate into the type of suggested sprayer that fit onto his back. The sprayer's nozzle spewed out the poison onto the ground, as he walked the acreage, far from any local doctor or hospital.
My brother didn't realize just how very potent this poison is, as he walked and walked, spraying and killing the brush. It wasn't until a couple of hours had passed that he began to feel nauseated and extremely weak. He thought he had taken all the necessary precautions as given in the directions, and he'd never used a poison to keep bushy areas down, before. He's no child. He was in his sixties. . .a very healthy age for him.
He made it to his truck, feeling so strange, weak, and nearly unable to manage the drive back to his home on the ocean. Within days, his teeth began to flake off! This is a man who never had a cavity in his life! He was an entertainer who took great care of his teeth! He never smoked, he always brushed, flossed, saw the dentist on a regular basis, and made a point of keeping those pearly whites really healthy. Immediately, he made an appointment with his dentist to find out what was happening! The dentist was in awe that my brother's teeth could have POSSIBLY deteriorated so very much in such a short time span! The dentist asked him all about his recent experiences. . .what he had come in contact with that was different than normal for him.
The answer was pretty clear. The Roundup had not just killed off the brush, it had seriously poisoned my brother. My brother saw his physician right away. Again, the Dr. was shocked at my brother's condition. This brother is still actively scuba diving, spear fishing, walking daily for exercise before breakfast, eating only healthy foods, and drinks water all day long! Suddenly, he was courting Death. The Dr. was not at all certain that my brother would survive this experience.
My brother's teeth are not pearly white, anymore. Some days he has problems with keeping up his energy level. This was all a 'sudden' happening. There is no doubt as to what caused this instant change. Roundup Brush Killer Concentrate is so lethal that it nearly killed my brother on the mountain that day. The doctor doesn't expect my brother to ever regain the health he had before that day. Still, my brother marches along through life, insisting he will get better. He is even having his teeth capped, because he just cannot get used to teeth that are less than perfect. (Most of us have a lot of years to watch our teeth get less than perfect. My brother had less than a week!).
If you have brush that you believe should have some sort of poison applied, please, please. . .do not use this product. Your life is worth a great deal more than the problems that those silly weeds or brush will ever cause you!
