The answers to today's Strands, game #474, are BABY COCOA BLASTING BAKING 
CHILI TALCUM ITCHING SPANGRAM: POWDERS My rating: Easy My score: Perfect 

ITCHING powder was a constant threat throughout my childhood. Along with 
quicksand and killer bees it was one of those things that comics, films and 
TV shows suggested would be far more widespread than it actually was  which, 
of course, was not widespread at all. To the extent that I do not know anyone 
who was actually dosed with it. 

I have far more direct experience with all of the other POWDERS in today's 
Strands, apart from BLASTING. I don't actually know what that is, but I 
suspect that unlike COCOA, BAKING or CHILI it is not something you'd want to 
put on food (and unlike TALCUM or BABY, definitely not on a body!)
