Calluses

While calluses aren’t a serious health concern, they can cause pain and discomfort when applying pressure, like walking. Recently, studies have found that soaking your calluses in a baking soda bath may help soften them, remove any scabbing, and reduce discomfort.

Oil Or Grease Fire

Did you know that some fire extinguishers contain baking soda? Yep, that’s right! Baking soda reacts with the heat to produce carbon dioxide, which smothers and extinguishes the fire. This means that baking soda can sometimes be used to extinguish small oil and grease fires. However, don’t expect baking soda to extinguish large fires, as bigger fires absorb more oxygen and can counter the effects of baking soda. When in doubt, call for help.
