How so? Its only very weakly radioactive, and its not that toxic.
There are tons of elements much more dangerous then it.

Lol, sorry about that. I was talking about someone called Bismuth in a show called Steven Universe. XD

I knew that. I'm just trying to make people distinguish between the fictional cartoon character and the actual collection of 83 protons.

I have a question.


If I licked a piece of bismuth. Would I die?


I also have a follow-up question.

If I randomly mixed bismuth with other metals, what would happen?

These are legitimate questions.

Licking it wouldn't be the best idea, but I don't think it would harm you at all, really. Long term effects really only harm you if you are exposed to it often. It is not very toxic if ingested, and can easily be removed from the bloodstream during urination.

Bismuth is used in some alloys, most notably bismuth bronze. It is also used in lesser known alloys.

Very informative! Thanks!

That was the best questions ever spade

Also learned a lot as well, thanks pinecone
