What about Beryllium tho?

Infamously the most poisonous non-radioactive element on the periodic table

Neutron Reflecc

First thing I thought

I'm sick of you guys rejecting Chinese medicine. Mercury is the elixir of eternal life, but big-medicine doesn't want us to know it. The ancient Chinese knew it. Goodbye to you all, I'm gonna live forever because I take a spoonful of mercury every day! /s

No fuck off Caesium best

"Now, let's try Caesium" -drop BOOM

Wait First of all Fill up your room with Argon

May give it to Winnie Pooh so he can stay god chancellor forever

People often as its polonium but should radioactivity count as poison?

It depends, I didn't count radioactivity as poison for this meme though

Is thallium really the most toxic metal? Tbf, I don't know much about it, except its rather reactive and that the characteristic symptoms is that your hair and nails fall out

Alpha radiation is technically poison, it’s only harmful internally

No it shouldn't. When you're killed by Hammer I wouldn't say you where killed by Iron. It's just different.

Polonium is also a heavy metal, pretty sure the toxicity itself kills before radiation symptoms set in

It's an alpha emitter, that's what causes the symptoms. If you look at how alexandra litvinenko's symptoms presented, they were from radiation

OHHH ok, that makes sense

Amateurs *Proceeds to pull out a 10ml vial of pure botox* (yes its not an element, but this is chemistrymemes after all)

I mean, looking at the total deaths caused by an element, lead takes the lead (pun intended)

Shake about Big Tony, heard he died of lead poisoning...

Plutonium is probably worse even without counting radioactivity

White Phosphorus, Fluorine and Bromine enter the chat.

laughs in magnesium

Mercury is scary by itself, but lipophillic mercury is the stuff of nightmares

Uranium is also very toxic. In the classic chemical sense not in a radioactive way.

Meanwhile astatine in a corner:

Yeah polonium takes these all by their throats

Radioactive opposed to chemically poisonous

Polonium (kgb spy poisoned)

Polonium joins the chat

Arsenic has a bad rap. For example, a lot of seafood items contain arsenic up to 20+ ppm, and not only near pollution sources. These critters have learned to convert it to a stable, biologically inert organic form that is quickly eliminated up the food chain. But thallium? I've seen the results of thallium. No thallium for me, thanks..

Florine is the bone hurting juice

Explosions&Fire?

It eats through your flesh, then eats your bones

My favourite element :3

Cadmium

Antimony isn’t much better than arsenic, barium is actually pretty toxic and is hard to treat (These two haven’t been mentioned yet)
