RE: The "Do not eat" warnings.  Turns out the warning is because the packets you find in bags of food, etc, are considered a choking hazard.  The silicon gel is not toxic in itself so if ingested, drink plenty of water and it will pass through the digestive system with no bad effects.   8-)

Thanks for sharing, IC!  Wish I knew this several months back when my puppy decided to chow down on a couple packets of those things. I got rather worried, at the time.  Oh, well... everything came out OK, so to speak.  Good information to know, though.
