Just picked up my gentian violet solution and boric acid. Soimething is not quite right. The label for the boric aciid mentions nothing about it being using for medicinal purposees. In fact, it has first aid instructions for exposure even to the skin, as well as the eyes. It says Boric Acid powder right on the label.
It also says DANGER POISON.
Anyone know anything about this?
Boric acid is extrememly poisonous if ingested. OSHA Hazard Communication Standard has classified boric acid and/or borates as Hazardous Materials. California has identified boric acid as a hazardous waste. All of this information can be found on the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) 25-80-2320 (Section 2 and 13).
We used to use Borax to treat carpets for fleas when I lived with my parents ... but stuff like this is just a little too scary for me.Â
