Should we start stashing on Borax?

It seems like Health Canada will soon start phasing out a lot of borax products and demanding special labeling for the rest. Maybe it's time to stock up on some 20 Mule Team LOL  ;D

Just don't eat it, inhale it and wear gloves.  Applies to so many products we use in our daily lives.  I guess we need big government to tell us this because we can figure it out ourselves.  ...OMG, but the fish will eat it..... ;)

Actually, what I got out of the Information Update is that Health Canada will be phasing out certain pesticide products that contain borax, NOT ALL products.  Will other products such as Mule Team 20 follow?  Who knows?  But interesting article and thanks for posting.   ;)
