Can I boil my sand to sterilize it?

I know you can do rocks and gravel but can you boil sand as well? I had some deaths and I do not know what was the cause so I need to sterilize the sand... If not is there any other way or should I trash it...

you're actually not supposed to boil rocks or gravel, they can explode. think boiling sand would be okay but don't know much about it

I wouldnt try it. Better safe than sorry.

You could watch it in a solution of bleach - 1 part bleach to 9 parts water - then rinse it really well a gazillion times. If you can afford to, though, it would be safer to get rid of it and start again.
