If all you did was touch the bottle, I doubt you ingested enough to do damage unless you write well for an infant LOL. You have surely washed your hands and mouth by now.

But if you’re in the United States, you can call the poison control center hotline for advice: “If you or someone you are with has an exposure [to boric acid or any other suspected poisonous substance], call the local emergency number (such as 911), or the local poison center can be reached directly by calling the national toll-free Poison Help hotline (1-800-222-1222) from anywhere in the United States.”

Yeah you're more than likely fine. Symptoms for poisoning would be pretty obvious. You can always go the the public poison control website, though honestly if you had poisoning you'd be in the emergency room by now. I know that fear can certainly drive up anxiety and let your mind swing into dark, scary places. Chances are you are in an episode. By now I hope you've gotten past it but if not feel free to private message me. Talking can level out some of it and from one loner guy to another the talk can do us both good. :-)

Hi, Don't worry; Although a poison,it's main use is to kill bugs and rodents, and it needs quite a large amount to kill humans. I have just looked it up on the Wiki page. All the same, don't keep the stuff around if it isn't needed.

Cheers, Midori
