  Sorry, the point I was trying to make, immaturely, is that detecting contamination with potentially toxic substances doesn't necessarily mean it's dangerous. There's a lot of variables at play here and sometimes it spreading widely could mean it's because it's actually harmless or could even be necessary. With regards to glyphosate we have data of people who attempted to commit suicide by drinking quantities large enough to spray on 4000 sqft of cropland, or multiple times more of that.
