According to the NLM's Toxicology Data Network, borax is easy for the body to break down when either inhaled or swallowed. However, if inhalation or ingestion occurs, both serious poisoning and organ damage can result." Any google search will show its dangerous (AF) | |

I use it to cure athlete's foot with one treatment. It's not toxic, at all. Some people even swear that eating it helps arthritis. I don't know about all that, but it won't hurt anyone or pets when used as a pesticide. | |

I would assume they might even design these products to not lift and move with a fan, so maybe I'm ok...I still don't know. Anyway, I mopped up most of it, so hopefully I don't have the same problems tonight. | |
