　　Silica gel desiccant: Silica gel is a substance that can absorb water.

No special treatment is needed after accidental ingestion, unless special reactions such as dizziness and vomiting occur, generally no medical treatment is needed.

　　Lime desiccant: The raw material is quicklime (calcium oxide), which expands when it encounters water and generates a large amount of heat. If ingested by mistake, it will burn the skin and intestines. Due to frequent explosions causing injuries, it has gradually been eliminated. If ingested by mistake, drink water or milk immediately, but control the amount of drinking, taking 10 ml per kilogram of body weight, and the total amount should not exceed 200 ml.
