Touchweeder

What is Touchweeder?

Touchweeder is a weed control product commonly used in gardens and lawns. It targets broadleaf weeds by disrupting their growth, making them unable to compete with grass or other plants. It typically contains selective herbicides designed to be safe for certain types of plants while targeting weeds.

Why do I have an intolerance?

Touchweeder contains chemicals such as glyphosate or other herbicides, which can irritate the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. People with sensitivities to pesticides may experience allergic reactions, including asthma, sneezing, skin rashes, or headaches when exposed to these chemicals. Prolonged exposure can also result in more serious health issues, such as liver or kidney problems.

What can I do about it?

When using Touchweeder, wear protective clothing such as gloves, goggles, and a mask to minimize exposure. Apply it during dry, calm weather to prevent the herbicide from drifting. Opt for organic alternatives, like vinegar-based or natural herbicides, for a safer option if you have chemical sensitivities.
