Is Paraquat the Same as Roundup?
No, paraquat is not the same as Roundup. Some people assume that paraquat is the same as Roundup, another highly dangerous herbicide, because they both kill weeds. But the truth is that paraquat is actually many times over (almost 30 times) more dangerous than Roundup! All of the brands of paraquat that are marketed in the United States, are marketed to keep people from being accidently exposed to it, or from accidentally ingesting it. Paraquat in our country is made with dyes, sharp odors and chemicals that will induce vomiting, if someone were to accidentally ingest or drink it. A person can be exposed to paraquat through accidental ingestion, inhalation or by skin exposure. The person who accidentally drinks paraquat will experience paraquat poisoning, which is fatal, and there is no antidote for this chemical if it is swallowed by a human or animal.
