I’m surprised uranium is only yellow, thought it chemically wrecked havoc on our fragile organic compounds and was difficult/impossible for the body to get rid of.
Uranium in its unenriched natural state is very almost stable. not entirely. but not so unstable that being in the same room as it long term will cause problems. even licking it the concern is less radiation and more heavy metal poisoning

It gives you heavy metal poisoning, but less so than lead
Yeah, I had it mixed up with plutonium, which isn’t just more radioactive but also chemically reactive. Thought that 2nd part applied to both of them.
