Ars TechnicaBorax is the new Tide Pods and poison control experts are facepalming
Borax is used in laundry detergent and is not safe to ingest.
Jo Momma@arstechnica i mean, it's less toxic than table salt per gram, but you wouldn't drink that either in any significant amount. It can help with fungal issues when added to a foot bath, but you would not need to add much, and I wouldn't recommend soaking your entire body in it.
But otherwise, borax is a wonderful and safe mineral salt that can be used for a lot of things.
