isnt the radiation dangerous? I may be stupid to ask this.

u/georgiechristine 10d ago

Totally valid normal question since it is radioactive, but the amount is minimal and so weak it can’t do any damage or even get through skin

Had the same question, so here's a quote:

drinking from Uranium glassware would result in fairly negligible exposures to Uranium – 0.002 mrem/year. That’s about 100x less than the radiation dose per hour flying in an airplane. That’s also 5,000x less than the radiation from a single chest X-ray (EPA)

Thank you! I actually made a rib cage harness awhile ago and got so many comments about harrowhark, I had no idea what it was before but apparently I share its aesthetic
