The food desiccant is harmful and the mother needs to guard against children playing

Food desiccants are common in daily life, and small snacks like all kinds of infant children are basically equipped with food desiccants.

Some of the desiccants containing quicklime are mainly composed of calcium oxide. The calcium oxide will produce a sharp chemical reaction in water and instantly release it. A lot of heat. If the amount added is small, the plastic bottle may become hot and deformed. Once the added amount reaches a certain level, and the plastic bottle is closed, the plastic bottle may burst, and the instantaneous heat may also cause people to burn.
