Can humans… digest asbestos?

Asking for a friend

  1. youzicha said: no? It’s a rock. (Silicon dioxide is really hard to dissolve, note how microchip etching uses large amounts of hydrofloric acid, so I don’t think your digestive tract will be able to affect it at all.) However, it’s not super harmful when ingested [https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/tp61.pdf], maybe you should be more worried that if it was near your mouth you might breath in dust too.
