There is a desiccant in the souffle and put it in a bag to heat it together. Will it kill you? The desiccant was hot when it was taken out, and it was not damaged!

I believe everyone is familiar with food desiccant. Every food package will put a small bag of food desiccant, which can extend the shelf life of food. However, every food desiccant package will have words such as inedible, but accidents caused by food desiccant will still happen.

It is understood that there are quite a few such incidents. For example, 0 1 1, a junior high school student in Taiyuan put desiccant in a thermos cup filled with warm water. After a while, the thermos cup suddenly exploded, causing the student to go blind in one eye. 20 15 A 5-year-old boy in Shangrao accidentally got into his eyes while playing with desiccant, which caused serious burns to his eyeballs and eyelids. The boy may be blind forever. Recently, a video that went viral on the Internet showed that when an 8-year-old cocoa was eating a snack, it was fun to put the desiccant in the snack into a drink bottle filled with water. I didn't expect it to explode after I put it in. In just 20 minutes, Coco's right eye was eroded by alkaline liquid, the whole eyeball dissolved and he was blind for life.

What is the composition of desiccant?

At present, the main raw materials of desiccant in the market are calcium oxide (quicklime), silica gel, iron oxide and calcium chloride. These substances are extremely corrosive, which will do harm to human body and even lead to the reported tragedy of children's blindness. Nowadays, food is basically dried and moistureproof with desiccant. It is an indispensable auxiliary material for many foods and health products. Even a bag of biscuits, a individually packaged moon cake, will contain a small bag of food desiccant.

Why does desiccant hurt children many times?

Now that the society has developed well, the income of every family has also been greatly improved, and many parents have also increased their care for their children. Many parents usually give their children some pocket money to buy snacks. This environment has led to many tragedies, and many minors buy snacks containing food desiccant without effective supervision. In addition, these minors are curious and lack self-control. Encouraged by their peers, they are very likely to eat desiccant by mistake or carry out some "dangerous experiments", which will eventually bring serious harm to their bodies and lead to irreparable tragedy.

Why is food desiccant called a "killing weapon" around children?

1. Parents lack awareness of the dangers of this project.

Many parents don't know enough about the harm of food desiccant, and the reason why monitoring education is not in place leads to children hurting themselves when playing with desiccant! Parents should also fulfill their obligations of guardianship and education. For example, food desiccant is widely publicized as firecrackers and cigarettes to educate, guide and "warn" children to stay away from these dangerous goods.

2. Lack of common sense education on campus.

When children go to school, schools should pay special attention to some dangerous goods, so that children can understand the seriousness of dangerous goods and enhance their safety awareness. Only in this way can minors subconsciously realize the harm of food desiccant, thus reducing the occurrence of tragedy!

3. Lack of corresponding management standards

Because there is no clear standard for food desiccant, many manufacturers shirk their responsibilities. Undeniably, many food desiccants affixed to food packages only indicate inedible words in small letters, without any warning signs or symbols. As a result, some children and even adults don't know the degree of harm, ignoring or even letting minors touch this dangerous goods.
