With little kittens that are 6 weeks old, how safe is Diatomaceous

I'm wondering how safe it is for young kittens. Does anyone know? Where

This is only a guess, but I'd say no harm whatsoever, unless they inhale the blowing powder, in
which case there may be some risk of kitty silicosis. (Of course, you would also have the possible
chance of human silicosis).
