Touching deadly arsenic with bare hands

Показать описание

Watch the owner of Luciteria Science take off his gloves to handle some arsenic with his bare hands to show that it's not a big deal to TOUCH it (but definitely deadly to eat it).

Yes, it is not recommended or even advised to touch pure arsenic, but it can be done without worrying about your life. The idea here is we do sell arsenic for the element collector and yes it is safe to add to your collection.

Buying arsenic might immediately trigger suspicion that murder is intended. It has certainly been a favorite weapon in crime novels but this is more due to the literary penchant for exotic materials than its inherent lethality. Swallowing a handful of ibuprofen would be deadlier, if perhaps less newsworthy!

That's not to dismiss this element's toxicity. While directly handling a small sample is inadvisable (it is classed as a skin irritant) the real danger is in swallowing it which could very well prove fatal. Arsenic is also brittle and prone to crushing into dust which if inhaled would also be harmful so it's best to treat your specimen with respect and keep it well away from where it could be reached by children or pets. As mentioned in the video if you do touch your arsenic sample please wash your hands right after you do and we do advise wearing gloves or not touching at all if possible.

It should be noted we are the only company in the world that has engineered an arsenic density cube!
