The legality of known highly toxic herbicides is quite shocking. Paraquat, which is widely used in the US and across the world, has a lethal dose of only 10 mL. There is no antidote or effective treatment and many people have died as a result. But people don’t seem to care. A couple squirts to kill some plants is just too convenient.
