Toppik and silica

[becky25]

So apparently toppik contains Silica. Is this the same thing that causes Silicosis an irrreversible incurable lung disease? If it is then why is the product allowed on the market? I've been using it for months and breathing in a lot of this stuff and now I'm really worried. Do you think it would be a good idea to get a chest x-ray? I know this isn't your department, but many people with hair loss use this product and others like it and I know I for one I am not willing to slowly lose my lung function to cover some baldness.
