I just purchased a defoliant to kill a tree stump that keeps resprouting.
It is
	isopropylamine salt of glyphosphate, 49% solution
The label merely says to avoid contact and wash your hands after handling.
Does anybody know exactly how toxic this stuff is?  Should I wear
rubber gloves?  rubber suit?  take it back to the store and get something
safer?
