Ehh I still wouldn't try it personally. I know someone who mined uranium in his youth and he developed lung and throat cancer in old age. He was never a smoker. I don't know if the uranium was solely to blame, but I bet it didn't do him any favors either.
Maybe it’s because my degree is in nuclear medicine so I’m a nerd when it comes to this stuff and probably “know too much”, but after reading story after story after story of people that worked at Rocky Flats or grew up downwind of it and all the cancers and autoimmune disease these people developed, I wouldn’t take my chances w/ uranium. Just saying. 🤷🏼♀️😬
Galen Winsor ate uranium in front of an audience for several years to try to prove it's not as dangerous as advertised, fascinating story.
