Very interesting science. I learned something new. I wonder if elk have been tested for mineral deficient or glyposate in urine? Bet not. Who knows? Why not test, along with atrazine levels? I do know one thing-I would never spray my garden with roundup. Would any Farmer be confident enough to do it, and if so why? This stuff stays in the plant and in the soils a considerable time.
Who desiccates their wheat with glyphosate?http://www.snopes.com/food/tainted/roundupwheat.asp
Please note that the guide is from Western Australia (WA), not the state of Washington.I gotta go with what snopes says, I've worked on wheat farms from the Palouse to the Skagit Valley and never saw or heard of spraying roundup just prior to harvest. It would be a waste of money.

The people wondering about the possible connection can't understand why the biologists involved wouldn't want to rule out as much as possible.

The people wondering about the possible connection can't understand why the biologists involved wouldn't want to rule out as much as possible.Because they have already identified the cause and there was never a sign of toxicity that warranted such detailed chemical analysis. Go read the bugle magazine story by rich landers on this subject...he lays out very accurately what wdfw has done and why toxicity was ruled out early on. If you have blood drawn at the doctors office does he provide you with your levels of glyphosate and atrazine?
