Spoolofwhool Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 It would chemically react with the saliva in your mouth though, and I doubt that that would be enough inside to be considered burnable.
Kingsdaughter613 she/her Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 That makes me wonder, would a chromium misting be able to burn away the excess copper in someone with Wilson's disease? And why doesn't chromium/aluminum/duralumin/nicrosil effect all the metals in the body (besides the fact that it would be fatal) and would it be possible for someone to do so...

Shouldn't there be at least 48 (16 atium, 16 lerasium, and 16 harmonium)? I have always interpreted the phrasing "expanded physical and enhancement effects" and "expanded mental and temporal effects" with regards to Lerasium and Atium (respectively) alloys to mean there are only 8 of each (so an Atium-Pewter alloy wouldn't actually be Allomantically powered, it would just be a metal) - making for 16 plus the 16 from Harmonium (given it's a combination of both halves) which would make for 32. Caveat: That wording is taken from the Table of Allomantic Metals, under the description of the God Metals, so an IC source rather than anything that I've seen a concrete WoB on. Closest WoB is this one from Jan 2011.

I think because the biologically important metal in the body isn't in metallic form. Iron in the blood is part of the hemoglobin protein, calcium in bone is in mineral form as calcium phosphate, zinc is in proteins, cobalt is in vitamin B12 etc.
