    Silica gel is silicon dioxide. In the "gel" form its intended use is as a dessicant, that is it controls humidity by adsorbing moisture. Silicon and Oxygen bonds are very stable at physiologic temperatures, and so stable that human enzymes are unable to activate reactions. However, while it may be limited in chemical toxicity, physically it can cause problems.

    I accidentally ate the silica. The lovely man at poison control immediately asked me, "Were you making a smoothie?" Yes, I was. I had emptied some frozen smoothie ingredients into the blender. I didn't realize that something frozen would have a gel desiccant in it. Since I blended it for my usual 4 minutes, it burst the package and the beads were evenly distributed throughout. I didn't "get it" until I found the packet. Then the man at Poison Control asked how many packets were there? Just 1. He said I'd be fine, just remember to check for packets in frozen food as well as freeze-dried items! Less learned...

    For those wondering "Why would they need silica gel packets for 3D printing?" - it's to control the moisture content of the plastic filament. The filament that's fed into the 3D printer needs to be kept dry, as when it absorbs moisture from humidity in the air, it can result in reduced print quality, with under-extrusion, stringing, bubbles, and oozing, thus leading to low-quality and fragile printed parts.

      I think you are part of the problem to begin with. Communicating such ideas and the behavior that typically accompanies it is what I have seen to be the mental breakdowns of many people. In reality, I bet he was just too beneficial to not keep him at his position in the eyes of the corporation. I and many others have to sand bag our performance in such instances or wind up down similar paths to this man if we wish to succeed in the current corporate employment environment.

    I used to put a large amount of damprid in a sealed container with metal grate over it to dry mushrooms for preservation and later ingestion. Not the same stuff as silica gel, but similar in function. One time the mushroom came into contact with a lot of it when the grate got knocked off the stand, and got some of the damprid powder on them. A friend of mine ended up getting one of these damprid pellets in his mouth despite my efforts to clean the mushrooms. He said it burned his mouth really bad.

      He hated Capitalism and tried to get away from it. But its America and I'm sure the bill from the hospital and hmo followed him home. I thought it would be a hipster trying to make a political statement with silica gel instead of a case of mental illness. That'll show the those greedy Capitalists.
