Pure carbon is not very tasty, but it can save your life if you ingested certain toxins
Why is it safer to lick Lithium than Caesium?
Radon is a gas. I’d like to see you lick that. Same for the halogens, the noble gases, nitrogen, oxygen hydrogen and probably some I forgot.
According to wikipedia
Because biochemical processes can confuse and substitute caesium with potassium, excess caesium can lead to hypokalemia, arrhythmia, and acute cardiac arrest, but such amounts would not ordinarily be encountered in natural sources.
Both still react explosively with your tongue, leaving highly toxic remains.
I’m agreeing with the GP here, why is Lithium yellow?
The Lanthanides look delicious!
Pure chromium is alright, but you really shouldn’t lick any compound containing chromium(VI): they’re highly carcinogenic.
Can I lick it? (Yes you can!)
We need a video of someone testing this table
You’d need multiple people. Or a very quick upload schedule.
