I bought a box of them for a sore muscle a while back. They are convenient but seemed kind of wasteful. The article ice pack says:
Does that mean the after use, the outer bag now contains some kind of granules soaked with water? Is there some way to dry them out for re-use with more water, i.e. to undo the chemical reaction? I know there is something like that for sodium acetate heat packs but obviously the chemistry is different. Thanks. 2602:24A:DE47:BA60:8FCB:EA4E:7FBD:4814 ( talk) 04:11, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
