Guest guest Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Rita, I tried your water mixture on my scalp and feet for several hours. I noticed I seem to have a metal taste in my mouth not too long after. I washed it right off when I realized it was already in my system. Anyone else notice this? I'm pretty sure I'm over using this. I didn't spread the powder in my house, just under the kitchen appliances. The side effects on it are just too scary in powder form. I don't mean to harp on this, and I understand the desperation these bugs drive us to, but this stuff is really dangerous. I want to get rid of these but not ruin my health too. bob > > > > Finally got some genuine Roach Prufe this afternoon.
