minus-squareInstigate@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 months agoYeah, if “toxic + toxic = toxic” made sense then table salt would be extremely dangerous. Sodium = extremely volatile and usually explosive metal when interacting with water (more than half of what makes us) Chlorine = gas at room temperature that can kill you in minutes at concentrations of 1000ppm or more Sodium + Chlorine = Sodium Chloride = delicious table salt that makes food yummy and helps power our neurons
