Is copper sulfate poisonous

Answer 1

Copper is what is known as a "trace mineral" which the body actually needs, but in very tiny, microgram amounts. For example, if you beat egg yolk in a copper bowl to make meringue, it will pick up a very tiny amount of copper from the bowl, which both improves the consistency of the meringue, and also makes it more nutritious. Amazing but true. However, it is also true that too much copper is toxic. Anything above the microgram level becomes hazardous.
