How do chemists find out whether or not a chemical is toxic without, well, ingesting it?
In: Chemistry
Ok, chemists are told not to lick the science. So they suggest others don’t either.
In all actuality, lab testing routinely involves animals and since our closest relatives besides monkeys are mice, if a mouse ingests it and they die it is likely to hurt humans too.
ETA: yes, I am a sci dork who forgot to mention why we use the mice/rats outside of similar digestion. 😣
