Curious to hear peoples thoughts on this. I try to be careful when I use the stuff around the house, but was curious if the fumes of it have the same effect as ingesting foods that have been treated with it.

Yes, it is. However, its under patent by Monsanto and is one the main features of thier high profit GMO crops which are 'roundup ready.' So you will see plebty of missinformation and studies claiming its fine or not conclusive that it causes harm. To be clear glyposate cause more problems with gut bacteria than with us. But you have 10x as many gut bacteria as cells and they play an extensive role in many processes.

As far as appliacation timing, it doesn't matter if its immediately before or not (even tho that is a recommended practice). Its commly found in wheat products http://cereals.ahdb.org.uk/media/185527/...barley.pdf
