    I knew a guy in high school that would do self destructive stunts for attention.

    I saw him eat silica gel on several occasions. I’m sure it’s not good for you but it’s not like he died or anything.

      The main warning is because it’s commonly shipped with food, and even though it’s not toxic, it’s certainly not edible. So it’s to stop people from eating it.

        Yeah, I did some googling after I commented and apparently amorphous silica gel is actually a safe food additive according to the FDA
