A good friend of mine is a PhD Toxicologist who worked at Monsanto. He was one of the people charged with attempting to reproduce the claims of all of the people who claimed Roundup (the herbocidical ingredient in Roundup) was carcinogenic in some way. One of the things he pointed out to me is that, to humans, the most toxic thing in Roundup is the surfactant (industrial-grade detergent, essentially) that allows the glyphosate to actually stick to the plant and be ingested by it. Detergents can cause chemical burns to the skin and other nasty maladies if you ingest them; the stuff you use for washing dishes has to be formulated to be safe/less irritating to human skin but they almost always recommend wearing dish gloves just to be completely sure.
