Weed-B-Gon is extremely toxic... Read all about it!

There are 2 intensely toxic ingredients in Weed-B-Gon.

* 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid (short version: 2,4-D)

and

* Neonicotinoids

Quotes from the article:

"2,4-D is toxic to aquatic life, as well as birds, bees and your pets. Dogs raised in lawns with higher levels of 2,4-D have increased incidents of cancer. If ingested or rubbed on the skin, this chemical can make someone very sick. Some of the side effects include; coughing, burning at the site of contact, dizziness, loss of muscle coordination, nausea, diarrhea and vomiting. It can also cause nerve system damage, gene mutation, and is linked to endocrine system damage, including decreased testosterone and ovulation changes that negatively affect reproduction."

As for the Neonicotinoid content:

"Studies have been revealing that this family of chemicals is a key contributor to Colony Collapse Disorder, which has caused the death of many bees worldwide. Even doses that don't kill bees can change their foraging, reproduction, smelling and navigation habits and abilities. Neonics similarly affect birds, butterflies and other pollinators"

Does the info on this website look credible to you guys? Best to have multiple brains sort through this complex stuff...
