Please note eating these small packets of silica gel poses no risk to your health at all. Actually silica gel is used as a food additive and can be as high as 5% in the EU and 2% in the US.

The reason for the "Do not eat" warnings is because it's a choking hazard, nothing more, nothing less.

Silica beads can kinda pop and shatter if immersed in water though. I don't think it would be a huge risk but it doesn't sound pleasant

Back during my freshman year of college, we robotripped a lot. The feeling of 40 gelcaps popping in your stomach at once is really bizarre.
