[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 696160, member: 4362"] I saw one of my friend's sons who recently graduated from high school and got his first job working for a plantation. He was spraying some fence lines with a 100 gallon tank and a wand sprayer and it was fairly windy. I asked him what he was spraying and he told me he was spraying gramoxone aka paraquat. I asked him if he knew anything about the herbicide and he just said they told him it would kill weeds quickly. Looking at his short sleeves, lack of gloves, no breathing protection and the gramoxone dye all over his shirt I thought it best that meddle a bit to prevent a train wreck. I gave him a quick overview of what the stuff is and what it will do to your body - especially the part about it turning your lungs to leather. I read the label with him and showed him the skull and crossbones and told him that this means. I also suggested that since "they" were not going to train him it would be to his advantage to read the label himself. He said it made sense and would explain why he got sick last week after spraying it. :shock: I hate to meddle but .. [/QUOTE]
