	QUESTIONS ABOUT DE   Subject: Diatomaceous Earth Grades I am confused about "grades" of Diatomaceous Earth.  It is all mined from the same area and appears to be the same stuff, regardless of label and instructions.  Can you clear this up for me.   Answer: There are two types of DE, food grade diatomaceous earth and also the kind that is used in swimming pools. DE to be used for swimming pool filtering has been subjected to a heat treatment that dramatically increases it's crystalline silicate content and makes it unsuitable for use as an insect killer. The diatomaceous earth that is needed for use in food storage or as a non toxic substance to kill crawling insects has not been heat treated and has a crystalline silica content of no more than 1-1.5%.   Subject: de Will DE hurt animals (cats & dogs).
