Okay, that sounds strange, but the following happened to me:
I was playing around with an empty pill blister and there's a film on the back that you break when you take the pill out. I think it's made of aluminum.
I rubbed the piece around on my laptop and I noticed that something had rubbed off the gray film on the laptop.
So I wiped it off with my finger.
I also ate on the side and as a result I had my fingers in my mouth. (Chips… You just lick the salt off your fingers.)
And with the fingers I had in my mouth, I wiped this aluminum stuff off my laptop beforehand.
Or what if I inhaled what?
Great - and now? 🤦♀️
I know it sounds strange. But such stupid little things always happen to me, which makes me really worried.
Don't worry, it's not harmful in such small amounts. Otherwise you would not wrap food in aluminum foil.
You do not have to worry. Such small amounts are completely harmless. Aluminum is not poisonous and your body excretes it if it doesn't decompose.
We used to have aluminum pots, spoons, forks, trowels made of aluminum, nobody thought about whether something was dangerous while eating, nothing will happen to you.
If you get heartburn, take one of the usual antacids, there's a lot of soluble alcohol in it, but it doesn't matter to the people who take it because they don't read the package insert.
Still no more people got sick!
D-yes. I guess so. I even think some of them are dead.
Yes, I thought so too. But I thought I'd get some Girlfriend opinions.
Today there are also enough diseases that you can die from, it is hardly the aluminum that is to blame.
Sure, but you don't have to make it worse.
Aja before I forget it: Please use your fear to educate yourself (especially about chemistry etc.). Then you will be much less afraid of such occurrences in the future.
It is not for nothing that our greatest philosophers have put reason and knowledge above everything else.
Aluminum is the third most common element in the earth's crust after oxygen and silicon. https://de.wikipedia.org/...%C3%B6rper writes There's an average of about 50 to 150 milligrams of aluminum in the human body.
Assuming an average value that would be a piece of aluminum of 40 mm³. A cube 3.4 mm long. Compare the amount you took in.
