When humans consume large amounts of boron-containing food, the boron concentrations in their bodies may rise to levels that can cause health problems. Boron can infect the stomach, liver, kidneys and brains and can eventually lead to death. We do need very small amounts of it for good health but too much is not good.

Is boron poisonous?
Boron is not poisonous to humans, plants, or animals.
Is boron in the human body?
No, or almost No: boron in human body is even less than 0.0001% (100 Kg human body contains less than 0.08 grams of boron). The simple substance of Boron is hazardous and poisonous to human body. Boron is an essential plant nutrient, although higher soil concentrations of boron may also be toxic to plants. As an ultra-trace element, boron is necessary for the optimal health of rats and presumably other mammals, though its physiological role in animals is poorly understood. In conclusion, boron is basically a plant micro-nutrient, as far as we know boron is damaging to humans.

What does boron do in the human body?
The simple substance of Boron is hazardous and poisonous to human body. Human body does not actively absorb or store boron. There is no widely accepted theory or evidence showing Boron is playing any important function in human body. Boron is an essential plant nutrient, although higher soil concentrations of boron may also be toxic to plants. As an ultra-trace element, boron is necessary for the optimal health of rats and presumably other mammals, though its physiological role in animals is poorly understood. Does human body contain any boron? No, or almost No: boron in human body is even less than 0.0001% (100 Kg human body contains less than 0.08 grams of boron). Boron is basically a plant micro-nutrient, as far as we know boron is harmful to humans.
