Though it is low in toxicity it will probably be more toxic than the
commonly used insecticides used for insect control. Usually 6-8
thousand people are seen a year for borate poisoning with a death a
year. 5 grams can kill a child and there is no known antidote for
borate poisoning. If a little one can get a pinch in their mouth it
will be a trip to the hospital.
