Lol sorry mate wasn't sure myself is it Eco because it doesn't use loads of it and keeps it contained in the stump.

Of course it's bad for you. It's a herbicide. iv'e read the results. Part of which are based on experiments with rats, which were fed food sprayed with Roundup. These rats showed higher signs of disease compared to controls.

 

I'm sure if you fed rats food sprayed with household bleech or liquid air freshener, then the results would show higher rates of disease, than controls.

 

I'm not qualified to say wether or not it should be banned, but if your using any chemicals, take the necessary safety precautions, to avoid any potential heath issues. I always go overboard with masks, gloves etc, but I'd rather do that than face the consequences.

I know there is risks with poisons and you need to take precautions but I have been thinking of going more Eco with it for a long time .

read it, then decide if use at all is acceptable

It should never of been used for stump treatments in the first place, but then again, I may sound like I'm repeating myself.
