How would you go about injuring yourself with borax? It's poisonous, so a small child might eat it. It's an eye irritant, so keep it out of your eyes. But is it significantly worse than other household detergents? This is a genuine question. It might be more hazardous than I think, but my prior impressions and my quick web search didn't make me worried. But I might easily have missed something...

- falsedan 7y agoI feel like bubble solution and bubble bath products fall squarely in the household detergent + toy department
- BubRoss 7y agoBubble solution is glycerin and not a great cleaner. It is also very safe. You could at most say it is hand soap and a toy.
