Is using Talc as a deodorant still dangerous?

Question

I know talc is supposed to be very harmful if used on babies....but is it bad for us men if we use it on our armpits as a deodorant?

Answer 1

It should be fine if you apply it carefully. It's best not to puff it into the air a lot so you breathe huge amounts in, but it's essentially harmless -- probably a lot better than an aluminum-based deodorant.
