    A skilled geologist recognizes the rocks they can safely lick. Licking every rock is just stupid. Imagine licking asbest.

      I believe licking asbestos is fairly unproblematic. You just really shouldn’t breathe in asbestos dust.

        Asbestos definitely causes inflammation when tissues are exposed to it, I wouldn’t recommend that anyone lick asbestos. One exposure wouldn’t do much. That said I’m pretty sure the act of picking asbestos up and bringing it to your face and breathing it in would be the most dangerous part of that.
