ALSO, they get the SAME air flow on a regular basis. It's not like us, where we go out to the mall, work, dinner. Leaving the house. Our animals do not.
I personally would not use this product. If the OP wants to then by all means but if a sickness arises I better not see a thread on it.

When did you become the thread police, Aaron?
I see you completely blew by the important part of my comment, that all clay contains silica and therefore your argument didnt make much sense. The soil in your backyard contains it, which no one in this thread seems to have a problem with, including yourself. The silica is a non issue.
The only one who came up with anything useful was Frank, when he said that the manure
could contain salmonella. However, Im not sure if Frank caught that the manure was composted. Commercially composted manure will reach a temperature that kills salmonella. Its generally composted to get rid of the smell, but has the nice ancillary benefit of also killing off things like Salmonella. And if this is a big worry, make sure sterilize your reptiles too as many of them already have Salmonella. While your at it, never eat chicken again..or eggs.
Corey, by the way, I thought you had a deal going where you weren't going to comment on things you dont know about for sure. This is one of those things, so please stick to that deal.
Either way, Im pretty sure the OP has already made a decision so there seems little point in continuing this thread.
