I' ve
also heard of DE, but "Feed Grade" was recommended for feeding. The pool
supply stuff is chemically treated and heated, and may be harmful. Some
feed stores carry the feed grade DE, also called Fossil Shell Flour.
There is a website I just looked at, www.dirtworks.net that has a good
description of DE under their pest control or pet supplies section. Also other
info from other companies if you search under diatomacious earth. I was
once subjected to a one hour "revelation" from a customer on
the all-encompassing wonderfullness of DE. She gave it to
everything on her place, equine, bovine, poultry, canine, feline, even
herself. Said she had really healthy animals that never got sick or
parasitic, even cured her allergies. It may have even cured hiccups,
if I'd had the time to continue listening. She was just a tad
extreme in her conviction of the power of DE. Diane Day
