      Ah, that explains the warnings against the practice when I was a chemistry major in the early 1980s.😉https://twitter.com/c0nc0rdance/status/1308401282256904192 …

      Some people think scientists are very smart, but counter-point: mouth pipetting was standard practice until the 1970's. pic.twitter.com/wF6YLmgQiY

          When I was doing A level chemistry in 1977 l mouth pipetted some CeSO4 into my mouth. God it tasted awful. Rather than spitting it out I walked to the teacher who told me to spit it out. No idea why I didn't just gob it into the sink. Horrid stuff.

          Did that in Chemistry lab 1974-1976. Didn't mind that as much as dissecting roaches in the biology lab. There wasn't a single glove in sight anywhere ☹️

          They were still telling people not to do it in the early 1990s
