Lithium is generally safe in small amounts, especially in medications for
mental health. However, if someone eats too much lithium, it can be harmful. π«
Symptoms of too much lithium can include nausea, shaking, or feeling very tired. In the lab, scientists handle lithium carefully because it reacts badly with water and can even make explosions! π₯
Proper safety gear is important, like gloves and goggles. So, while lithium is important for our health in some ways, itβs best to use it carefully and responsibly.
