Yes.
This can be inferred by the fact that many medicine bottles contain packages of silica bead in them with warnings saying "do not eat"
"Do not eat" does NOT translate to "poisonous". Silica is Silicon dioxide, equivalent to so much sand. Sand is not toxic. The correct answer is that
silica is NOT toxic to humans.
Why would you want to??? Probably nottt!!!
It is dangerous because it just is.
You cannot eat Silica Gel because it is not food. Silica Gel is a non-toxic substance that is used to absorb moisture. The reason packets of Silica Gel are labeled "Do Not Eat" is because they pose a choking hazard.
The question is toxic to what. Not all chemicals which are toxic to humans are toxic to bacteria, and some chemicals which are toxic to bacteria are harmless to humans (which is why we can have antibiotics). There are chemicals (like Hydrogen Sulfide) which are very toxic to mammals that SOME bacteria eat as food. But there are other chemicals like chlorine which are toxic to both humans and bacteria. So the question does not have a simple answer.
The Australian plant Kangaroo paw is not toxic to humans or animals.
Mercury
toxic waste that can harm humans
No, while colorless silica gel is non-toxic, the dopants used as color moisture indicator in silica gel (such as cobalt (II) chloride) are carcinogens and are quite toxic.
Silica gel is not edible because it is hard and tough. It also has other chemicals added to it that should not be eaten. The silica gel itself is not toxic.
No. Silica, or silicon dioxide, is not a vitamin and should not be consumed by humans or animals.

Yes, Bromine is toxic
Silica gel is a tough, hard, porous gel that is used to combat moisture and spoilage. Packets of Silica get are toxic and should not be consumed. They are mainly used to keep products from degrading or gathering humidity which would make them inoperable.
Phenol is toxic and corrosive.

I get Silica Gel at that place of Silica Gel Supplier where Silica Gel Desiccant is DMF Free and USFDA Approved, because high Humidity removal and more moisture absorber is only Silica Gel beads and crystals.
