Best Answer

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.

Do toxic chemicals help bacteria to grow?

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.
