Caller states that some time ago she had a big bottle of Roundup Ready to Use sitting in her kitchen and she was going to bring it out to the garage. The caller suffered a stroke and was hospitalized. When the caller returned home from her hosptialization she noted that the cord of the sprayer to the Roundup had been cut. Caller is concerned that this was done by someone who then put the Roundup into her drinking water which she keeps in large bottles in her home. Consequently, she is concerned that the Roundup contaminated water is responsible for her stroke. MRPC discussed the product toxicity. The symptom does not correlate with the expected response to the product. Continue under the care of MD.
