Agreed, its just the unthinking (not targetting you here) use of the word
natural to equate with safe Well *you* werte the one who thought
'natural' meant 'safe.
Natural means derived from nature and that is entirely the context in which
I used it as the OP said she didn't want to use 'chemicals' by which *I*
assumed she meant artificial manufactured poisons.
Diatomaceous earth is natural and none toxic and safe as long as you don't
breath it in.
