Wait, why shouldn’t lick magnesium? I’ve done that plenty of times for giant dumbass reasons and I’m no worse off than before I licked it…
Comment on Chat, is this accurate?

Most of atoms can’t be find as a pure form (metal/crystal or pair). You may have licked magnesium oxyde (MgO), but not magnesium as an explosive metal.

Ah, I see I’ve fallen for the classic ambiguity - I was assuming the chemistry arena we were licking things in was not a frictionless vacuum.

Yeah I guess that’s true, your salvia probably isn’t penetrating the oxide layer with enough vigor to be too much of a concern. Don’t eat it though!

Magnesium’s fine, I’ve licked it. Held some magnesium tape in my mouth once while mixing the thermite.
