Silica dust can be deadly if too much is inhaled.
As for Mylecon, Silica gel and dimethyl polysiloxanes (simethicone) are both non toxic.
Any reactions were from allergic responses in humans to simethicone.
I did not read anything that said Mylecon was 'recommended for use in infants'.
It is an ingredient in Bloat Buster, made for dogs.
There are no regulations for homeopathic remedies, so quality and safety may be of issue with them. |
This is the one I was refering to.
MYLICON Infant Gas Drops| Safe for the Newest of Newborns.
Hylands is FDA and USDA tested in manufacturing as well their own clinical labritory.
The USDA owns the terms organic and homeopathic so items labled as such must do so with their approval...not to say there aren't items out there snuck in-they get caught eventually but its hard to regulate every product.
I do agree through Hyland's teething tablets contain belldona a substance I don't consider infant safe even in the form and amount used.
Of course I'm 'one of those' I don't use any petroleum based products period especially on infants. Like we use HPA lanosil lanolin and aunt Patty's coconut oil as diaper ointment...
