Subscribe to Talltanic http://goo.gl/wgfvrr #6 - Your Cell Phone You might shake your head at the mention of your cell phone being something you instantly regret touching, but it just might, depending on the germs covering it. It doesn’t matter if you have any of the brands of phone pictured here nor does it matter what type of service you have, if you are interacting with the outside world and you own a cell phone and you use it, it’s covered in super gross germs. Did you know that supposedly one out of six cell phones is contaminated with fecal matter?! Do you have the poop phone out of your friends? #5-Asbestos This cheap, insulating material was commonly used in houses until the shocking toxic effects were finally discovered. If you’re living in an old home right now, it’s very possible you could be breathing in asbestos right now and not even know about it. This fibrous mineral is perfect for keeping homes fireproof. The only problem is that it’s extremely deadly and can cause lung cancer after exposure. There’s actually a city in Quebec Canada named Asbestos where you can go and visit an Asbestos mine! Many people don’t believe the serious effects of this toxin and continue to use it despite its poisonous qualities. In can come in different colors like blue but whatever the color is, you don’t wanna touch it! #4 - Golden Poison Frog Say hello to one of the most toxic animals on Earth, the Golden Poison Frog. It looks like a cute innocent creature in this picture, but there is more than meets the eye when it comes to them. This species inhabits a tiny plot of rainforest on the Pacific coast side of Colombia, and that’s it. Since they are only found in one place in the entire world, Golden Poison Frogs are on the internationally endangered list. If you think that something this small can’t possibly take down a full grown man, know that just one frog that measures two inches long has enough poison to kill ten grown men, not just one. You might be OK with those odds, but we aren’t. No Colombian adventures for us. #3 - Fluoroantimonic Acid So, there’s strong acid, really strong acid, and then there is Fluoroantimonic acid, which is supposedly a super acid. Do you remember those green floral styrofoam shapes that florists, or your grandma, stuck flowers in to make them all stand in the right direction when being arranged? Well, that’s what’s in the middle of the petri dish pictured here. Over the top fluoroantimonic acid is being poured, and as you can see, it is eating right through. If you poured this substance over your hand, it would eat through both your flesh and your bones. You can, however, safely store this acid in plastic bins. Go figure. #2 - A Box Jellyfish As most people know, brushing up against a box jelly isn’t something to write home about, simply because you won’t be able to. The species of jellyfish you see pictured here is translucent and small making it really hard to see in the water. In addition to that, this is another one of the most venomous creatures on the planet. The box jelly’s venom creates holes in its victim’s red blood cells, this, in turn, causes potassium leaks. The leaks of potassium lead to hyperkalemia and then cardiac arrest. Of course, you then die and the total time from touch to death is between 2 to 5 minutes so write those last words quick. #1. Plutonium We’ve seen Plutonium portrayed on movies and on TV as a bright glowing, oozing green substance like you see in this photo. But does Plutonium actually glow green like we’ve seen on the media. Not really. It does glow in the dark however and emits light. This substance is unstable, energy is released and its atoms fall apart while its decaying. Plutonium reacts with oxygen in the air which actually gives it a deep red color. The metal essentially burns when it’s exposed to air. The quality is described as Pyrophoric. There’s some other elements that glow in the dark a little crazier than other this one we’ll mention later in this video.
