Asbestos in baby powder used to clean ant waste
I noticed baby powder was used to clean up ant waste in one of the AntsCanada YouTube videos. Please avoid Johnson & Johnson baby powder if you do this, as they have been found to contain cancer-causing asbestos.

Re: Asbestos in baby powder used to clean ant waste
the article said that it was in there talc powder. my baby powder is cornstarch based (the reason it does not work with alcohol). would that be affected too?

The asbestos was part of the talc component of the baby powder, so I'm assuming cornstarch based is fine.

The information can be found through the link I attached to the original post, but you can also google Johnson & Johnson asbestos and find further supporting info. There was an official report from Reuters that Johnson & Johnson knew for a while.

Read the entire thing. Independent testing (as in NOT done by Johnson & Johnson themselves) has shown that there have been asbestos results in their product.
