Did you get particles in your eyes.

Ya know, now that I think about it, that might not have been snow.
It was Magic Eraser particles!

Those particles were made from all the physics properties of the force invoked as the particulates break from polymers into monomers and get ingested by the ...... oh forget it:hmm4:

What would you know?
Sadly, not enough :sad2: I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. I'm glad you got your truck out of the magic eras.....snow. :bounce1:

Thank you, yes. Just one of MANY instances that seem to happen on a daily basis, and trust me, that was nothing compared to other events. Let's just say he's lucky the stairs were carpeted.
Welcome to the world of nut-case toddlers! :lol:
I'll just say this.
The ocean is full of particles of all sizes. Rocks get worn down to sand. Sand is inert, and natural. Yet, if a sandblaster inhales a lot of sand, he can get silicosis.
The magic eraser is likewise inert, and small particles can be released. It is not natural, but unlikely it is much different than sand. With that said, it could harm organisms. Or not. Whose to say without some sort of evidence.
I do believe that organisms ingest all sorts of dusts and particles on a regular basis, be they man-made or not, and must therefore have a mechanism to cope with them. Our own lungs are protected by hairs, and mucous, to keep particle out. Is it a perfect system? No. Asbestosis and silicosis show that it is not. And they show that inert particles can in fact cause damage. Both asbestos and silica are natural substances, by the way.
In the grand scheme of things, I would conclude with no scientific evidence, that using the magic eraser is probably not harmful to tank inhabitants, any more than fine sand particles are harmful.
if you feel differently, then by all means choose not to use a magic eraser.

I love how some people place faith in the fact that the live sand they buy is in fact "live" sand or that the salt they buy doesn't have anything harmful to the fish over a long term period because, you know, everyone has had long term success with both. However, the minute someone tries something new and has success somebody, somewhere, will lose their mind.
