Evidently, not all of the Pyrex makers (even the name-brand stuff) still use boron, and people complain that it's no longer as durable and resistant to temperature changes.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09075041892999096779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-47689511530447379622011-03-25T09:17:43.207-07:002011-03-25T09:17:43.207-07:00Boric acid is also used as a poison to kill roache...Boric acid is also used as a poison to kill roaches, ants, termites, and other insects. You can buy it as a powder, as an ingredient in many insecticides, or in "roach tablets" (and they even use it in the "Roach Motels" - which have always quite frankly creeped me out, but that's another issue.) Insects like the taste of it, but it's apparently not so good for them. It is non-toxic for humans, as long as you aren't eating piles of it.LegalMisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00197525109022776598noreply@blogger.com
