Neem OIL is an biological pesticide that is organic approved. Vastly more likely to kill you than roundup use.
Neem OIL LD50 = 31.95g/kg
Caffeine LD50 = 175 g/kg (150-200 estimate in humans)
Glycosate LD50 = > 2000 g/kg
i.e. the "Biological&organic and traditional" alternative used is two orders magnitude more dangerous.
- lorenzhs 9y agoExcept two of those numbers are off by three orders of magnitude. Caffeine's LD50 is 150-200 milligram/kg, Glyphosate is at 2-5.6g/kg (in rats). These numbers are completely meaningless, though, because LD50 is not the correct measure of toxicity unless you plan on drinking the stuff. The concerns are about the effects of pesticides on the body, not literally dying from the poisonous effects of pesticide. Salt is at around 3g/kg.
