① Umgubo weTalc ungakhusela ulusu kunye ne-mucous membrane. Ngenxa yobukhulu bawo obuncinci besuntswana kunye nommandla omkhulu, umgubo weTalc ungafunxa inani elikhulu lezinto ezibangela iikhemikhali okanye iityhefu. Ke ngoko, xa usasazwa phezu kwezicubu ezivuvukileyo okanye ezonakeleyo, umgubo weTalc unokuba nefuthe lokukhusela. Xa uthathwa ngomlomo, umgubo weTalc awunakukhusela kuphela ulwelo oluvuvukileyo lwesisu, kodwa ukwathintela nokufunxwa kweetyhefu kwindlela yokugaya. ITalc ayisiyongozi ngokupheleleyo, esiswini, kwi-rectum, kwi-vagina inokubangela i-granuloma.

② Isiphumo sokulwa neentsholongwane se-talc powder sichongiwe ngendlela yeplate. Isixhobo esiqulethe i-10% ye-talc powder sasinomphumo wokuthintela i-typhoid bacillus kunye ne-paratyphoid A. Indlela yephepha yayinomphumo omncinci wokulwa neentsholongwane kwi-meningococci.
