In addition, a boiled, saturated solution of boric acid in water makes an effective remedy for pink eye. It used to be the MD's remedy of choice in the 50's. It may also be helpful for other things.

I thought boric acid is much more potent than borax- so less would be needed. Somebody could do the math on it.

For those who want an inexpensive "finger dip" dosage of boron, and are wary of any impurities that may be in borax, you can get USP boric acid from most pharmacies which is an inexpensive very very pure source of boron.

Hi List Borax is an industrial chemical which contains boron as well as a collection of allowable impurities. If you enjoy eating them, go ahead.

        I've also heard it's good for fleas? Is it? i"ve tried
       Everything..diatomaceous earth works some but not very fast
       and i am allergic to them.


   I don't know about that but the herb pennyroyal works great for
   fleas. I don't think it kills them but they hate it so if you
   manage to get rid of them, it keeps them away. We used to
   regularly get flleas until i discovered it, as the cats would
   bring them in. After that, I always spread some dried pennyroyal
   on the mattressess under the sheets and this kept the beds free.
   I'd also sprinkle some on the floors and then sweep it into the
   cracks in the floorboards (we had varnished floors).

I'd then rub the herb over myself and take the cat outside and rub
   pennyroyal through it's coat. The cat didn't mind but you could
   literally see clouds of fleas leaping off it.
   good luck
