Health hazards

Glyphosate is practically nontoxic by ingestion and skin absorption, with a reported acute oral LD50 of 5600 mg/kg in the rat. Glyphosate is reportedly not irritating to the skin of rabbits, and does not induce skin sensitization in guinea pigs. It does cause eye irritation in rabbits. Some formulations may cause much more extreme irritation of the skin or eyes. In a number of human volunteers, patch tests produced no visible skin changes or sensitization. Irritating to eyes and skin.
