Yeast is a microscopic fungus that lives in the air, on wood, or in the water. Boric acid is a chemical compound that gives yeast life. When a yeast colony is exposed to boric acid, it dies.
In this video, the team from the American Museum of Natural History shows us boric acid’s chemical reaction with yeast.
This video is a great demonstration of how you need to get a microscope before you can get too excited about it, but if you do, it won’t kill you.
Boric acid makes yeast dead, but the chemistry isn’t all that complicated. All you just have to do is expose yeast to boric acid for about 20-25 minutes. I’m not a chemist, but I get where they’re coming from.
All your senses are still in the dark. You can’t go into the dark without looking in the dark. You have to take your eyes off the dark to get the feeling you want to look in the dark.
While the science behind boric acid can get pretty advanced, the chemistry behind it is quite simple. Boric acid binds to yeast and kills it. A lot of people who are worried about the dangers of boric acid are concerned because they think it is dangerous to our health. Like any drug, yeast is something that needs to be taken on a full stomach because yeast will cause flatulence and be a little bit nauseous. Boric acid however, helps kill yeast.
Yeast does have it’s place, and it is something that should be taken very seriously by anyone who’s got a little bit of spare time on their hands. But if you’re not worried about getting a flatulent yeast infection, you can avoid this problem by not eating anything with too much sugar in it.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to have to start worrying about whether I have enough sugar on my diet. I’ll gladly take the sugar, but if I get sick I’ll be back to square one.
As I mentioned, yeast is one of those bugs that should be handled with the utmost care. You should not keep yeast in the kitchen, but if you have a small kitchen, you may want to consider keeping it in there for baking bread. However, if youre going to keep yeast in an area that is not your kitchen, make sure that it is kept in a cool area that doesn’t get too warm. And, of course, always wash your hands with soap before using the bathroom.
Yeast is the most common cause of food poisoning. You can get this bug from any variety of food, but it will become much worse if you have fermented foods. If you have the chance, try to avoid anything that has been cooked with or processed in any manner that could have a possibility of causing yeasts to grow.
