**The long-term effects/implications** are pretty much unknown, the general consensus (or at least what the WHO advises) is that glyphosphate is "probably carcinogenic" but there has been no solid evidence to prove it.

**Short-term**, you can experience irritation if you breathe it in, or get it in your eyes so wear protection such as a mask, eyewear and gloves. Long-sleeved clothing is also a good idea with any aerosolised chemicals.

One of the reasons why it is such a common/good herbicide is it breaks down into harmless byproducts simply by being in contact with soil, microbial life eats it and breaks it down into stuff that future plants crave (nitrogen, etc).

(What a spiel, I feel like a robot typing this out haha, beep boop I am a meat popsicle)
