I never said such a stupid thing. I said people should express skepticism. Something that can be sorely lacking here at times.
The toxological data that was provided here in a few links had a few holes in it and not much data on long term exposure. Yet I'm also reading people on here saying they drink it regularly and others wanting to try it.
You're right about research and skepticism, but that's not the part of your comment I was addressing. I was just pointing out that a product that is used as a pesticide in some form may also be used as a therapeutic. I provided some examples of products used for different purposes.
I personally don't take Borax although I add it to my laundry sometimes. I have used Boric Acid to flush debris out of my eyes, though. I don't even watch TikTok videos much less take any medical advice from them.
I see you confusion from my earlier statement. That is just my background knowledge and I am using it as an initial pretense to require sufficient information to be convinced. Just like grapes and dark chocolate being poisonous for dogs. It doesn't always translate but if I had never eaten a grape before and watched a dog die first, I'd need a lot of convincing.
That's an interesting example and I get your point. Strangely though, I've always let my dogs eat both chocolate and grapes. I didn't know they were considered toxic to dogs until recently. They've never shown any apparent ill effects, although they don't eat a lot of it or every day.
