I'm curious of silica gel, is it a good option?

[Inferdan]

I won't be consuming this, I already have my options sorted, but I just want to learn about it.

 

[AcidicTearsOfDeath]

Honestly I have no idea, the fact that the packaging clearly states it's not for consumption is one thing but when I read up a bit about it I came across articles there they stated that it was harmful but not deadly harmful and after getting confused I just stopped looking into that method as well and just opted for something else. perhaps I was not reading from valid sources, I don't really remember it was awhile back.

Well, apparently, it's highly toxic. Something to do with absorbing moisture at an alarming rate. Probably why it's in food packaging. In case you didn't know. Good try in looking into it, though

Not sure if it works, but now I want beef jerky...

this is one of those moments where I realized I should be less trusting of the internet. That is a good question though what happens if you do. I can understand using it for like mummification or something like that. What would happen...

I really want a big slice of a moist chocolate cake.

Modern egyptians should really be implementing this :/ (no offense intended to egyptians)

What's stopping you, my friend? Beef jerky is so good, you should have some now

You're right. I'll grab some today. Need anything?

No need, you are my guest of honor. For you, only the best will be served.

Silica gel/pellets are not really all that dangerous.. they just absorb moisture... the warning is there as more of a choking hazard for kids...

xo

Damn, then why the big fuss? Being honest, the warnings make it very dramatic

 

[Jen0804]

I also want to add
I tried eating them when i was desperate as a teen. Did nothing.
I tried sooo many things. Bear in mind i was 13 or so and very desperate without information on what woul work and what wouldn't. Oh boy, desperate times they were. I even tried drinking dish soap.

Yeah, you are right.... they give the impression they coul kill if swallowed.

What was it like, now I'm genuinely curious

 

[Jen0804]

Honestly, nothing happened. Just like eating plastic I guess, Lol

I don't blame you for being curious though. I am still curious and reading up on plants and even found out rhubarb leaves are toxic. It's interesting finding out these things.

Did you know that somewhere, there's a full on botanic-garden style place, except all the plants and bushes there are lethal? One of them is the source of cyanide, too

Yeah, when I was looking at poisonous/toxic plants I came across it. Somewhere in Europe if I remember correctly, think I could be wrong though.

 

[Jen0804]

Yah! I saw it. I wish I could go and taste some of the things in that garden. Even touching some of those plants can kill you. Amazing

I remember! The Poison Garden in Englands Ainwick Garden

It's crazy what this world contains, literally anything is possible.

Yip that's the one!
@Inferdan I know it's random but How are you doing? You seem like a genuine person and I don't mean to be rude if it comes off that way I'm sorry. I just want to know.
