Claim: Childhood vaccines contain “mixed up toxins” including formaldehyde, aluminum, aborted fetal DNA, fetal bovine serum, monkey kidney cells, mercury, pig circoviruses (Social media user, 2024-03-03)
Evidence (2013-02-28): Vaccines also contain other ingredients, which help make them safer and more effective. They include: [...] Q. Are these other ingredients in vaccines safe? [...] A: Almost all childhood vaccines do NOT contain any mercury. Methylmercury, which is found in fish and other animals (including humans) can be toxic and lead to adverse effects in humans. Thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative, was removed from most childhood vaccines in 2001. Thimerosal contains a different form of mercury called ethylmercury, which is processed by the body very differently than methylmercury, and is not associated with the same adverse effects. It is still present in some influenza vaccines. Thimerosal is still used in the manufacture of some vaccines to prevent contamination. The thimerosal is removed at the end of the manufacturing process. In some cases, a tiny amount of thimerosal remains. The remaining amount is so small, that it is not possible for it to have any effect. Valid scientific studies have shown there is no link between thimerosal and autism. In fact, autism rates have actually increased since thimerosal was removed from childhood vaccines. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Medical Association (AMA), the CDC, and the Institute of Medicine (IOM) agree that science does not support a link between thimerosal in vaccines and autism.

Claim: Childhood vaccines contain “mixed up toxins” including formaldehyde, aluminum, aborted fetal DNA, fetal bovine serum, monkey kidney cells, mercury, pig circoviruses (Social media user, 2024-03-03)
Evidence (2024-03-07): One example of this is an Instagram post published on 3 March 2024. The post listed several substances supposedly present in childhood vaccines, including aluminum, mercury, formaldehyde, monosodium glutamate, cells, serums, viruses and fetal DNA. The caption claimed that these substances are "toxins injected into healthy babies". [...] Aborted fetal DNA fragments, monkey kidney cells, and fetal bovine serum [...] In 2010, a research team found pieces of DNA from the porcine circoviruses PCV-1 and PCV-2 in the rotavirus vaccines from Merck and GlaxoSmithKline. These fragments weren’t part of the vaccine, but the result of contamination of an enzyme from the pig pancreas used in the manufacturing process.
Claim: Childhood vaccines contain “mixed up toxins” including formaldehyde, aluminum, aborted fetal DNA, fetal bovine serum, monkey kidney cells, mercury, pig circoviruses (Social media user, 2024-03-03)
Evidence (2023-10-12): "There is no vaccine that includes everything on this list," Dr. Kawsar R. Talaat, associate professor of international health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, told us in a phone interview. "I think that they have gathered these ingredients and use different names for them in order to scare people as much as possible." [...] Anyone can check the Johns Hopkins database or consult the package inserts to see that none of the current flu vaccines contains ethanol, aluminum dye or aluminum, any type of acetone, "monkey kidney cells" or Vero cells, "fetal cow serum" or bovine serum, barium, E. coli, "cow muscle tissue," "DNA from pig circoviruses (PCV)", "embryonic guinea pig cells," human albumin (a protein naturally made in the liver), "Mueller’s media (containing cow extracts)," or dextrose (a type of sugar), as the meme incorrectly claims. [...] Vaccines may also contain some leftover products from the manufacturing process. As explained by CHOP’s Vaccine Education Center, since the ingredients of the vaccine come from biological systems, it’s sometimes impossible to completely remove substances used during the process. Although most of the time the amounts that remain in the vials are insignificant, the substances still need to be listed.

Claim: Salt and corn gluten meal are used to kill mice, they are hazardous to humans (Michelle Jorgensen, 2024-06-29)
Evidence (2024-06-29): Some rodenticides contain sodium chloride—table salt—and corn gluten meal. This combination forms a thick plug that physically obstructs the airway of rodents. Because rodents are anatomically unable to vomit, this leads to suffocation and death. These rodenticides aren’t hazardous to other animals and humans, who are physiologically different from rodents. Humans can safely eat processed food containing sodium chloride and corn-derived products, as long as they are part of a balanced diet.
Claim: Salt and corn gluten meal are used to kill mice, they are hazardous to humans (Michelle Jorgensen, 2024-06-29)
Evidence (2024-07-09): FULL CLAIM: Salt and corn gluten meal are used to kill mice, they are hazardous to humans; "ALL of the ingredients in this mouse poison are found in our every day food. If it’s killing mice…what is it doing to your body?" In late June 2024, dentist and wellness YouTuber Michelle Jorgensen claimed in a Facebook reel that "a lot of processed food that [people] are eating has the same exact ingredients as mice poison". She implied that salt and corn-containing processed food is hazardous to humans based on the fact that some rodenticides use the same ingredients to kill mice and rats. [...] In summary, while table salt and corn gluten meal are used in rodenticides, this doesn’t mean that they’re toxic to humans. Both ingredients are lethal to rodents because they form a thick plug that physically obstructs the airway of rodents. Since rodents are unable to vomit, this obstruction leads to suffocation and death. However, this mechanism doesn’t occur in humans. It’s safe for humans to consume salt and corn-derived products as part of a balanced diet.

Claim: Salt and corn gluten meal are used to kill mice, they are hazardous to humans (Michelle Jorgensen, 2024-06-29)
Evidence (2024-10-08): Rodenticides are chemicals made and sold for the purpose of killing rodents. While commonly referred to as "rat poison", rodenticides are also used to kill mice, woodchucks, chipmunks, porcupines, nutria, beavers,[1] and voles.[2] Despite the crucial roles that rodents play in nature, there are times when they need to be controlled.[3] [...] Besides being directly toxic to the mammals that ingest them, including dogs, cats, and humans, many rodenticides present a secondary poisoning risk to animals that hunt or scavenge the dead corpses of rats.[7] [...] Low-toxicity/Eco-friendly rodenticides [edit]Powdered corn cob and corn meal gluten have been developed as rodenticides. They were approved in the EU and patented in the US in 2013. These preparations rely on dehydration and electrolyte imbalance to cause death.[21][22]

Claim: Salt and corn gluten meal are used to kill mice, they are hazardous to humans (Michelle Jorgensen, 2024-06-29)
Evidence (2019-08-12): Corn gluten, the by-product of corn processing, contains proteins that inhibit root growth during seed germination for a number of small-seeded annual and perennial weeds that frequent our lawns, including crabgrass and pigweed. Not only does this product offer a natural herbicidal alternative to toxic "weed and feed" lawn products, but it, also, contains a significant amount of nitrogen that our full-grown turf grass loves. [...] Note that corn gluten will, also, suppress the germination of turf grass seeds, so either plant these seeds in locations away from corn gluten application or wait four to six weeks after for its herbicidal effects to wear off. You can likely find corn gluten products in the "weed n’ feed" section of your local garden center or online. Of course, you can always hire a lawn care company from our list of natural lawn care providers and ask them about their corn gluten services.

Claim: Salt and corn gluten meal are used to kill mice, they are hazardous to humans (Michelle Jorgensen, 2024-06-29)
Evidence (2024-10-01): Corn gluten meal is a natural byproduct of the corn milling process that has gained popularity in recent years as a non-toxic alternative for controlling pests, particularly mice. This organic material is commonly used as a pre-emergent herbicide in gardens to prevent weed growth, but its ability to act as a natural rodenticide has also been well-documented. But how exactly does corn gluten meal kill mice, and what makes it such an effective tool in the battle against these pesky rodents? To understand how corn gluten meal kills mice, it’s important to first understand how it works. Corn gluten meal contains a high concentration of protein, which makes it an attractive food source for mice. When consumed, the protein in corn gluten meal disrupts the digestive system of the mice, leading to dehydration and ultimately death. This method of action is slow-acting, allowing the mice to consume the corn gluten meal and return to their nests before succumbing to its effects. [...] In summary, corn gluten meal is a natural and effective tool for controlling mice without the use of toxic chemicals. Its slow-acting nature and non-toxic properties make it a safe and environmentally friendly option for those looking to eliminate mice from their homes and gardens. By understanding how corn gluten meal works and addressing common concerns related to its use, individuals can confidently incorporate this natural rodenticide into their pest control routines. With the growing demand for sustainable and non-toxic pest control solutions, corn gluten meal is sure to remain a popular choice for environmentally conscious consumers seeking effective ways to manage mouse infestations.
Claim: Salt and corn gluten meal are used to kill mice, they are hazardous to humans (Michelle Jorgensen, 2024-06-29)
Evidence (2016-11-10): They are safe to humans and their pets. Moreover, there is no risk of secondary poisoning to non-target animals and birds of prey either. Hence, natural rodenticides can be widely applied in livestock yards, farms, cafes, centers, game farms, industrial and retail premises, storehouses, schools, hospitals and other public areas and buildings in urban and rural locations. [...] Vegetable and cereal grain pellets with corn gluten are commonly used for rat extermination. One of the well known products is RatX. It is a natural rodenticide that kills common rat pests in houses and outdoors. Corn gluten grains are non-toxic to people, pets, raptors and all other wildlife. [...] Rats and mice are simply unable to digest the corn cob powder and corn gluten meal. Thus, the ingested baits cause the rodents to dehydrate. The corn cob and corn gluten absorb the liquids in the intestine, resulting in low blood pressure, blood thickening and circulatory collapse. Thus, the rats become lethargic and retreat to their burrows and nests. Afterward, they slip into a coma and die from a heart attack.
Claim: Salt and corn gluten meal are used to kill mice, they are hazardous to humans (Michelle Jorgensen, 2024-06-29)
Evidence (2022-08-30): Killing mice with salt can be effective, but you have to use it strategically to see results. A small amount of salt won’t do a thing. For these critters to die, they need to eat at least 75 grams of salt. [...] Using salt to kill mice can be a hit-or-miss form of pest control. [...] Using salt to kill mice can be effective. But as mentioned earlier, there are no guarantees.
Claim: Salt and corn gluten meal are used to kill mice, they are hazardous to humans (Michelle Jorgensen, 2024-06-29)
Evidence (2020-09-21): This rodenticide is not an anticoagulant but uses corn gluten meal and sodium chloride to dehydrate the animal. This is due to a phenomenon only present in rodents. When corn gluten meal is ingested, it renders the stomach and intestine unable to signal to the brain that the rat or mouse is thirsty. Coupled with the dehydrating agent sodium chloride (as in table salt), this dehydrates the animal over two to five days until the animal slowly falls asleep. This works particularly well in rats and mice as they cannot vomit, so once they ingest the corn gluten meal and salt mix, it stays down. [...] With the current COVID-19 pandemic, these infestations are likely to continue to rise. However, a number of solutions have come about over the past few years, one of these being EcoClear’s RatX® and MouseX®. Unlike a number of other rodenticides, RatX® and MouseX® are safe to use around other animals, including people and pets.

Evidence (2024-07-09): Sodium chloride and corn gluten meal aren’t hazardous to humans, even though they are used as mouse poison [...] Misleading: The reel cited the fact that salt and corn gluten meal are both present in mouse poison and some processed food to imply that this food is hazardous to humans. However, this claim overlooks the fact that these ingredients are hazardous to rodents but not to humans or other animals because their bodies work differently. [...] In summary, while table salt and corn gluten meal are used in rodenticides, this doesn’t mean that they’re toxic to humans. Both ingredients are lethal to rodents because they form a thick plug that physically obstructs the airway of rodents. Since rodents are unable to vomit, this obstruction leads to suffocation and death. However, this mechanism doesn’t occur in humans. It’s safe for humans to consume salt and corn-derived products as part of a balanced diet.

Evidence (2020-09-03): A note about the poison. Rats (and gerbils, hamsters, and mice) cannot vomit. Unlike my dogs. It turns out that corn gluten and salt can kill rats and mice by stopping up their digestive system and causing dehydration. The rats become comatose and die in their burrows. Although poisonous to rats, corn gluten won’t hurt other wildlife – and other wildlife can eat any dead rats and not be poisoned themselves.

Evidence (2021-11-11): Corn gluten: This type of rodent bait is usually found in disc and pellet forms. Because these discs and pellets look very similar to more toxic baits, do not assume that all brown discs or pellets are corn gluten. This rodenticide causes dehydration and obstruction of the GI tract in rats and mice. In dogs and cats, this usually only causes GI upset, however if a large amount is ingested, the pet can become dehydrated or develop a blockage of the intestine.

Claim: "Autopsies performed by the Italian pathologists [have] shown that [COVID-19] is not pneumonia but it is disseminated intravascular coagulation" (Chinonyerem Emmanuella, Facebook users, 2020-05-01)
Evidence (2020-05-01): The article contains numerous inaccuracies about COVID-19. Firstly, while coagulopathy (blood clotting disorder) does occur in some COVID-19 patients, the evidence to date indicates that viral pneumonia is the main cause of death in COVID-19 patients, not clotting disorders as claimed. Secondly, antibiotics, antivirals, anti-inflammatories and anticoagulants are already being used in current COVID-19 treatment protocols, contrary to the article’s suggestion that they are not. Finally, ventilators and intensive care units are crucial for treating COVID-19 patients, in spite of the article’s claim that these are “not needed”.
