I found a knife in my kitchen that had what looked like caulk on it. My husband told me it was from when he was caulking behind the sink, and he accidentally ran it through the dishwasher. I'm super worried that this means our dishwasher and dishes could be contaminated with chemicals, especially since it's been a few weeks since then. The caulk was clear silicone. Should I be concerned about this?

Honestly, you probably don't need to worry too much. That caulk is often used around sinks and counters, and if there were serious health risks, we’d definitely know about it by now. Plus, it’s usually designed to be water-soluble for a bit, so it likely washed out with the dishes anyway.
