Why Would Someone Avoid All That Tasty Fluoride!

Why Would Someone Avoid All That Tasty Fluoride!
Holy chemical contrast, Batman! 🧪 On the left: A scientist handling hydrofluoric acid (HF) with more protective gear than a space mission. And for good reason! This stuff doesn't just burn you - it silently penetrates skin and dissolves your bones from the inside. By the time you feel pain, calcium in your bones is already forming a deadly party with fluoride ions! On the right: Someone casually pouring what appears to be concentrated HF into a drain cleaner bottle while wearing flip-flops! This is basically the chemical equivalent of using a nuclear reactor to heat your swimming pool! Chemistry safety instructors probably get night terrors from images like this. Remember folks, proper lab safety isn't just nerdy overkill - it's what keeps your skeleton inside your body where it belongs!
