[QUOTE="Old Timer, post: 1175, member: 169"] Your question was regarding the safety measures required when spraying with Tordon or Grazon. I have extensively used Tordon for the past 30 years. Providing there is no wind blowing the spray onto you then no protective gear is required, BUT in saying this I would recommend using a mask for breathing and goggles. I personally have ingested plenty of Tordon and Round Up over the years and it doesn't seem to have done me any harm, but everybody are different so err on the side of caution. If you are spraying a lot of gorse then I would strongly suggest using a respirator type of breathing mask over a paper disposable type. Cartridges for herbicides can be bought from Protector Safety, Blackwoods, NZ Safety etc. [/QUOTE]
