If we have metals like iron and zinc in our blood, why doesn't that set off metal detectors?

Is it too small an amount of metal? Or is it because it's tiny particles of it instead of a big chunk?

Metal detectors aren't sensitive enough to detect those trace amounts.

@UndeadSona Ooh, thanks.

Maybe doesn't have all the properties of 'metal' in its common form as appearing outside the body? 🤔
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Andrew19EightyFive likely true, probably lacking metallic bonds.

The metals are there as compounds, not in their pure form
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@mathsman Oh, yeah that makes sense.

@BlueMetalChick What else can I clarify?

It comes in too small of traces to be picked up by a metal detector.

@SW-User Good thing, that, or else we'd beep every time we went to the airport.

@BlueMetalChick Very true..

Minute traces. Metal detectors aren’t Magneto
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@Longpatrol I figured it was probably something along those lines.

@Longpatrol Yeah but not even Magneto could control humans despite the metals present lol

It is in tiny particles rather than big chunks. On a side note the human body has enough iron in it to make a nail.

@Sroonaka616 Wow. So I guess when people say they're tough as nails, they mean it 😂
Sroonaka616 · 31-35, M
In a way yes.

I dunno but my dick attracts girls who like heavy metal
Jentlemen · 51-55, M
@Longpatrol must be some magnetism
Longpatrol · 31-35, M
@Jentlemen I think it’s like on the Dis-co-very Channel
Jentlemen · 51-55, M
@Longpatrol nah, but I think I saw my dick on Animal Planet. It was on a horse
