Modes of Application.— A mixture of one part of finely powdered borax and six parts of honey or glycerin is applied to the part affected. 

The toxicities of boric acid and borax to animal life are sufficient for them to be used as insecticides, e.g. in ant and cockroach control. Borax is also used as a fungicide it acts by preventing the formation of fungal spores. The level of toxicity of borax is relatively low, but does cause some concern e.g. borax and honey was, at one time, used to relieve the pain of teething in children, but this use is no longer recommended. 

Honey of Borax, B.P,C, A solution of borax, 10 per cent, in glycerin and honey. 

As the optical activity of sugars differs in borax solution from that of aqueous solution, the activity being restored after acidification by a strong acid (Levy and Doisy ), the optical activity of the honey must be determined after acidification. Strong acids rapidly invert sucrose hence, although only a little sucrose should be present, the rotation of a 20 per cent w/v solution must be observed as soon as possible after dilution. Any error by inversion would be quite small for genuine honey (limits [a]D + to - 12-8°).
