Hi. I use 2 or 3 silica gel packets (drying agent) to make the air dry inside my camera bag. Is that enough for the camera? It's a 600D though.

Yeah you are good. Most of the concern is for older lenses/gear. Any type of growth in a recently made lens would be a worst case scenario and rare.

The mfg'ing process of the cameras require cleanroom environments. Literally zero dust. You're in and out of 3 cleanroom filtration rooms before you even enter "the" cleanroom.
