Be very, very careful with this stuff. If you're prone to making contact
with stuff when you play with it, wear rubber gloves. If you get it on


your

skin, have some peroxide right there to apply to your skin, or be prepared
to look like strong tea until your skin flakes off. It will permanently
stain clothes and most other stuff it comes in contact with. It can be


very

scary stuff, but it's also very useful. I finally got over my fear of the
stuff last year . . .it has too many benefits not to use.

OK, my interest is peaked...what is this stuff?

BV.



It is a very potent chemical. It can be used to treat
plants to kill off bugs and also to treat sick fish. People
have been known to kill off their fish accidentally when
trying to treat the pond. If used correctly, it's great.

I'm not brave enough to use the stuff - never had the need yet!
