    Why does the epsom salt packet say wash hands after use when you’re taking a bath in the stuff.

        ooh that’s probably true didn’t think of that. But it’s still heavily diluted.

          I reckon the dust would sting like crazy though!

            I was annoyed at how slow the salt was coming out of the bottle (just a standard cheapy iodised table salt thingy from woolies) the other day and squeezed it and it blew out a huge plume of white dust. It stung my nose a little, I can only imagine Epson salt dust to the eyeball would be fairly painful!
