Thanks for the caution. I don't take epsom salts, I take a mix of calcium and magnesium in a tablet (equal ratios). I dislike the taste of epsom salts intensely anyway. But didn't know about the risks you've informed me of. Glad to find out!

Though, I noticed they were a help to me when I used to use them in my bath when I had mercury toxicity....they aided sweating and seemed to help with detoxing the metals via the skin. I also used sea salt and baking soda together, which worked I think even better. About a cup or more of each.
