According to the article, it's non-toxic - which let's face it, would make it pretty crap as a biocide. I suspect they mean it's non-toxic to humans, which doesn't mean it's non-toxic to plants, or insects, or fish, or reptiles, or indeed the probiotics in your digestive system.

I'd want to know what the fuck was in it before it came anywhere near me.
