Waterbear and I are just pulling your leg.

Everything I said about dihydrogen monoxide (water) is the truth! It can cause death and injuries when misused as can ANY chemical. There is the key, learn how to properly use your pool chemcals and there is no problem. Even baking soda and table salt can cause poisonings and death if improperly used and baking soda can be used to make soda bottle bombs! Borax is a chemical, washing soda is a chemical, baking soda is a chemical, even soap is a chemical and is a man made one (soap does not occur naturally in nature and is actually the salt of lye and a fatty acid, commonly sodium tallowate or sodium palmitate) and these are often touted as "substitutes" for chemical cleaning agents like detergents.

Point is, there is no such thing as chemical free! If you think there is you are deluding yourself. EVERYTHING in this universe is made of chemicals! EVERYTHING your children get into/eat is a chemical! Chemicals are not intrinsically bad but there is a fear of them so the word 'chemical' is a buzzword for fear mongers!
