Coughing, headache, bitter taste in mouth, burning mouth, noise, eyes, throat. Throat very sore. Feeling sick, chocking, heaviness in chest, felt like same was in our chest. What rights do we have so that sprayed (first name)was using not to come on our land in the air, so we can look after our animals and garden or just relaxing outside or doing anything in the house so it doesnt bother us at night or day. So we dont have to go for a few days because its causes us problems. And we cant go because we need to be there for our animals and garden and look after our grandchild when (name) works. We like beings outside and going for walking in the evening or looking at the sky. 7 days later we still could not go for walk because the Roundup would still burn our throat and make it very sore, and would give us a headache. It wrecked fathers day for relaxing outside. Wht right do they have for stopping us for having our windows open or doing anything outside because of the Roundup in the field. (Name) could have put it anywhere else in that field or other fields so it would not bother people. It took 7 days to show signs of the vegetation dying.
