minus-squareAdmetuslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up41·edit-21 month agoFrom my elementary knowledge of chemistry: I had to go looking for Mercury and Lead and sure enough they look about right. Column 1 reacts with water so you bet that’ll hurt. Hydrogen needs a boost to start reacting with oxygen so no naked flame is recommended. Anything in column 7 are desperate to rip electrons away from molecules so yes, permanent damage to your tongue and mouth. Uranium is alright if you lick it once. A guy ate uranium cake once on TV. The ‘Please reconsider’ lot seem to be a good way to die a horrible death by radiation. Tc I believe is technetium which is radioactive and emits gamma rays, perhaps not soluable so stays in your body and you become gamma-man.
