Buds contaminated with DE

So I have this buds that I had contaminated with Diatomaceous Earth, I apply it in early flower but I think I did too much because I had crazy mites spreading fast. Had it on the the plants for a couple of days than I gave them a good shower bath but I never got rid of all of it for sure since it is such a fine powder, I can’t visualize it but I know it’s there and I know I can’t smoke it anymore but can I use it only make cookies or tea since they say this stuff is safe to eat, you just cant inhale it. What do you think? Can I use a bong or a vape or is that too risky. It’s a lot of weed to trow away, 2 big ass plants full of bud. Tell me your best judgment ✌✌

You got options. Vaping MIGHT be fine NOT likely, but check out inhaling silica vapors. Same with bong. A lighter might not vaporize DE but a coil might. Check, the sublimation point of DE might be much higher than a coil.
Bubble hash would precipitate the DE to the water or smallest micron screen.
And pressing rosin might have contamination.
An extract like ethanol, ISO extract, then passsed thru a coffee filter might be your cleanest way of getting something out of it.
If you have small enough filters for an open butane extract that would work to.
