Heh, I bet this is actually what killed my dad - glyphosate is what’s in agent orange. He had alzheimers-like symptoms at the end of his life… from what he told me, the air base at da nang was practically bathed in the stuff. It was just everywhere.

Agent Orange didn’t contain glyphosate but two other herbicides. Glyphosate didn’t exist until 1970. The damage from Agent Orange came from dioxin.
