Diatomaceous earth is the fossilized exoskeletal remains of tiny diatoms.
It is sometimes used to kill parasites such as fleas or garden pests. Some pests are injured or killed by microscopic sharp edges of granules when they try to walk across diatomaceous earth. It is not toxic to humans or pets.
