Holly, Are you still going to dust with it after reading that? I

think the DE I put down and vacuumed mostly up is still irratating my

lungs.

I found a link specific to Roach Prufe, regarding toxicity:

http://www.pesticideinfo.org/Detail_Product.jsp?REG_NR=00960800002 & DIST_NR=00960\

8

Here are some other links about boric acid toxicity:

http://www.peopleforcleanbeds.org/boric_acid_history.htm

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/002485.htm

http://devinefarm.net/rp/rpboric.htm

I have not used boric acid for the mites because it is poisonous, and

I didn't want to poison my cats or myself. I have used it in the past

when I had a cockroach infestation, and it worked great, but I only

put it behind my kitchen sink, between the sink cabinet and the wall.

I did not put it anyplace where it could be stepped in, inhaled, or

ingested, because it is poisonous.

If you don't have pets or children, maybe it's okay to use it if

you're careful. I wouldn't put it on my skin on a regular basis

because you will absorb it into your body. It sounds like you can

poison yourself without having obvious symptoms. Please be careful

using boric acid. I don't want to hear about anyone getting kidney

damage, or worse.

Just an FYI, I asked Trish from ESP Botanicals if boric acid is safe

to use. Here is her reply.

Dear Bob,

Boron can be dangerous, but 20 mule team borax in the box, when used,

is much safer than straight Boron. I won't bore-on LOL with the

Chemistry Breakdown, but the old 20 mule team borax is very safe and

all carpets should be steam cleaned with the stuff but mixed with

water and other things. Borax was used for centuaries before we used

all these damn pesticides and clothes cleaners made with petroleum

distillates and made from chemicals. Straight boron should never be

applied to skin, 1/2 cup of 20 Mule team borax in a bath is fine, but

never straight Boron. Boron should never be applied directly to the

skin or used as a powder it is dangerous and should never be

ingested....period. This you may share with the Group.
