It's practically inert. It would be like eating sand.

Alone, silica gel is non-toxic, non-flammable and chemically unreactive. However, some of the beads may be doped with a moisture indicator, such as cobalt (II) chloride, which is toxic and may be carcinogenic. Cobalt (II) chloride is deep blue when dry (anhydrous) and pink when moist (hydrated). This is one reason most silica gel packets are labeled as dangerous or poisonous when eaten.

Crystalline silica dust can cause silicosis but synthetic amorphous silica, which is what silica gel is, does not cause silicosis .[citation needed] A chemically similar substance with far greater porosity is aerogel.

Dibs on your guns if you follow through with this.

I was working with anhydrous salts in a chem lab class a few years ago....the lab instructor said that sylica gel reacts with oxygen in the body, extracting it form the blood stream and tranforming into another substance I can't recall it's name........whatever I didn't listened.......my ADD don't allow me to remember well
