I have been using DE for the last 10 years with no ill effects. I mix it with playground sand for the chickens to bathe in and add to their feed once a month. Great stuff

Dr. Doug,
Personally, I keep a DE dusting tray in the coop for my girls, line their nesting boxes with DE under the shavings, and sprinkle my yard with DE after each grass cutting. With 3 dogs, 1 cat, and 6 chickens living a very rural area, I have no ticks, fleas, mites, or lice. Even ants leave after an application of DE to the yard.
In my house, I sprinkle DE around the baseboards and sprinkle in the dog beds. Once a month, I sprinkle DE in the cat and dog food as a dewormer.
