Donât worry, Iâll probably fall down it later: After Iâve concreted-in paid for rabbit holes.

Are there any government agencies that are supposed to be protecting actually protecting us?

Sure, they are to a degree. However, they tend to treat the public as if theyâre children, incapable of making their own decisions. They seem to believe that the average adult is uninformed, ignorant and lazy. They also forget that they themselves are average.

My own rabbit hole now is the impact of bisphenol a (BPA) resin and the risks it poses if used to make drip tips.

Trisodium Phosphate.
Trisodium Phosphate havenât been used in years. It was a great product to clean walls before painting. The FDA forced a change in formulation when they baned Phosphate. Now itâs less effective than dish detergent.

It also worked great on concrete, plaster and stucco.

I question that article, considering how often they reference Snopes. Snopes isnât exactly a shining beacon of truthfulness, if you recall what their co-founder was caught out doing recently.
It also reminds me far too much of all of the accusations against vaping/e-juice.
âThereâs antifreeze in e-juice,â âVaping causes popcorn lung,â etc. Big, splashy, attention-getting headlines - but when you investigate why these things are said you find how the truth got twisted into these stories.

Agricultural vinegar is used as a crop kill/weed killer. I wanted to kill some poison ivy in my yard and didnât want to mess with the potent AG type and Shawn said regular white vinegar will do the trick and it does but it also kills grass and every other plant around it so you have to be careful.

Oh geez, we used to use that stuff a lot. Owned a painting co. once.

I get your point with Snopes but they are not the only point of reference on chemicals in our products. Because of my condition Iâve had to dig deep and far to get the truth about endocrine disruptors. I donât get my info from Snopes or any other âfact checkingâ site. I wouldnât trust any of them. Who checking the fact checkers?
The bottom line about chemicals is written in journals, books and research reports. Itâs dry as hell reading but the only way youâll find what youâre looking for.
ETA: One more point about fact checking. Search who owns the fact checking site. That tells you a lot, too.

Do you think it works on kudzu?

Worth a try. If not, get the AG type. Do you have a Tractor Supply near you? I saw it on Amazon but donât know the brand or vendor.

I talk to my wife about it. Sheâs the one that gets all worked up about stuff growing in the yard. She keeps mentioning poison this and that. As long as she doesnât use it on me, itâs all good.
