    Per Wikipedia, emphasis mine:

    toxicology has been intensively examined. “The inertness of silicones toward warmblooded animals has been demonstrated in a number of tests.” With an LD50 in rats of >50 g/kg, they are virtually nontoxic. Questions remain however about chronic toxicity or the consequences of bioaccumulation since siloxanes can be long-lived.
