I can sprinkle DE all over my yard and if my sulcata eats it, it's ok. Beneficial, in fact.
Very beneficial, as long as it is FOOD GRADE. Sorry for yelling it out like that but the thought of someone, anyone giving the pool grade to their pets, freaks me out.
However, "all over my yard" is a problem because not only will it destroy bad things like fleas and ants, but it can also affect beneficial insects like bees IF it gets on them. As localized as you can and not on a windy day.
People can use it too. Very good for our health, in my humble opinion. Parasites can do great harm and there is a school of thought that many icky people diseases start with parasites in our system. Ewwwww. : 0

Crystalline silica is fiberglass looking so I can see that being said. But remember (okay, okay BeeBee, they say) FOOD GRADE only. None of the pool guy's truck bed stash around our beloved chelonians, LOL. Safe. Not sorry. : )
