peter dempsey Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 many years ago the Avoca Mines that would pump there afall into the river our birds would go to what was known as the Island in centre of town of Arklow there they would freely drink and bath themselves you could clearly see the copper ore along the island those birds were super healthy and never seemed to have any bother from Canker hope this helps refards peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STB Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 its quite toxic 11 micro grams can kill a human that micro grams not 11 grams Copper sulfate is a severe eye irritant and can cause substantial damage to the eyes. If inhaled, the dust can cause respiratory irritation. Copper sulfate should not be ingested. Doing so will cause serious diarrhea and vomiting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDCHEQHEN Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 It's used as a fungicide on plant cuttings to stop them rotting at soil level I believe some people have used it as a solution for feather rot, but don't know of anybody personally using it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
