Silica Gel is NOT Poisonous

Had a little scare with my 1.5 year old. She somehow found a stray silica gel packet in the house. You know, the ones that say "Silica Gel - Do Not Eat". Well, she ate some and I called poison control worried that she ate that which is labeled do not eat. The operator told me that it is not poisonous and that Silica Gel is the most common call they get, all day, every day. Turns out it's just sand. Whew!
