The moisture is absorbed in the gel structure so will not leak out. The moisture is liberated if the gel is heated so the sachets can be dried in an oven.

In this faq, you do not have the answer to my doubt. the blue silica gel can be reused how many times?

 

[duke37]

If you look on Wikipedia you will see that the blue silica gel contains a cobalt salt which is not heathy so do not eat it. The colour will tell if the gel is saturated with water.
You could experiment to determine the number of useable cycles. My guess would be about a thousand.
