  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!
