Hi Betsy, The sharp edges on the DE will not harm mammals' or birds' internal systems - food grade is quite safe to eat. 90 days would do well to get out any parasites in your digestive track. But, as someone else asked about, it probably won't get any parasites that have gone systemic, so my personal approach would be to use an herbal formula for at least 3 weeks during the period you're using DE.
