The following email was sent from the Monsanto Canada 'Contact Us' webpage: I recently used a premixed Roundup product in my yard, it was not windy, although there was the occasional breeze moving. Unfortunately, I was not wearing long pants, just capri's and in the evening both my legs developed a spotted red rash which I'm assuming was a result of mist from the Roundup. I had no itching but there was a distinct burning sensation which persisted for two days. It will be one week tomorrow and the rash is still very visable but no more burning. Any info on line just said was the effected skin and discard the clothing. I'm wondering if this is more serious side effect of the product and if I should be seeing my physician (she's hard to get into so if I don't have to see her that would be great). I thank you in advance for any information you can provide me.
