Health officer Dr. Clealand A. Sargent and pest control firm president Robert J. McMahon assert that the weed killer 2-4-D is harmless to humans and livestock when directions are followed.

The formula is one part 2-4-D to 100 parts water, with other chemicals like 2,4,5-T and dalapan used similarly.
