this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Now I'm envisioning the little fossilized diatoms coming to life and wielding tiny swords and killing the ants that way.
PLEASE DO NOT TELL ME OTHERWISE.

The folks on the bedbug boards said to becareful even with food grade. That if the dust is breathed it can harm the lungs. Is that not true?

Why would we? That's exactly how it does work.

It's possible I guess? The same way you shouldn't inhale a bunch of flour?

If you breath in clouds of it, like any particulate. I mean, I wouldn't snort it or throw a bag into a fan.... And apparently the pool kind is altered in a way that is crystalline silica, so I'm guessing silicosis would be an issue. If you snorted it.
But people eat the stuff. And it's been used as a dewormer in livestock.

They are wee tiny swords!

AFAIK, that is true. It's also true for Borax.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It is even better than that, because they are tiny fossil zombie vampire diatoms that suck the very life out of any ants with whom they come into contact.

It really doesn't create clouds of dust. And it doesn't seem to go through the vacuum filter. Material safety sheet from somewhere: [link]
