I was just doing some reading on the use of Epsom (magnesium) salts baths. They are wonderful for reducing muscle tension and I swear by them after a triathlon, however it seems some folks like to do things other than bathe in them. There are two case reports of people dying from alternative methods of using epsom salts, please do not try this at home:
1. Do not use them for enemas
2. Do not use them as a gargle
Magnesium is generally a good thing, but as with anything too much of a good thing can be harmful and even deadly. Epsom salts are not to be taken internally!
To your health,
