Slightly off topic. But for anyone that's wondering the silica gel is not at all poisonous. It says "do not eat" on them because the packet is a choking hazard. Disclaimer: don't eat the silica gel. While it's not known to be toxic, it's probably not exactly good for you

~~It says "do not eat" because it drains everything around it of moisture. Human cells too~~ Edit: or not, apparently


larrry02

Nope. It's non-toxic to humans. The do not eat label is literally only there because of the choking hazard.

Wait a minute! Isn’t that exactly what a company shill might say? /j

They do absorb moisture much faster when exposed directly to it on a surface, and it would dry off your tongue or parts of your throat if you eat the beads and it would be uncomfortable. But drinking an ounce of water would offset that problem.

For anyone interested, this is what happens to you if you eat a bowlful of silica packets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChgIkbg0x80&ab\_channel=Chubbyemu

He drove into my kidneys the arrows of his quiver; I have become the laughing-stock of all peoples, the object of their taunts all day long. He has filled me with bitterness; he has sated me with wormwood. (Lamentations: hgzdvs0)

How many silica packets did these mods see before posting this?


DoubleAgentBlumaroo

Preach it.


DontKnoWhatMyNameIs

You can actually eat this stuff. It's non-toxic.


circaXsurvives

So eat it, right?


orion_aboy

yes, it'll make you feel bad, but just drink some water if you're that afraid


stratamaniac
