      If you’re careful with it, 1. If you decide to eat some, 10. Dangerous things are only dangerous if you don’t realise that they are of if you ignore that they are. Uranium is radioactive, so you can be poisoned by it without even touching it, but when we handle it we wear special suits and keep it in special containers so that nobody gets hurt by it.
