There's a group of people so heavily effected by this rock that they were nicknamed "the radium girls" their jaws deteriorated and fell off because they licked paintbrushes with this shit on it and WE JUST CASUALLY SNIFFING IT dudes gonna look like voldemort before he hits hospice
Close same nasty shit, radium poisoning from licking radium coated paintbrushes used in watch dial making caused the symptoms of the radium girls. You can look up the pictures online still and there's alot of documentaries on YouTube about them. Now phosphorus jaw was caused by the use of white phosphorus in the match making industry without proper safeguards for the workers, and presented necrosis to skin and slowly killing the bone tissue leading to people loosing their jaws over it. In both cases the corporations tryed to place blame elsewhere to avoid massive payouts to the workers the radium girls well the few who survived to the trials end did receive a payout however it was nowhere near enough for the suffering they indured, and I couldn't find any corse of compensation given to the 100 sufferers of phosphorus jaw in the US this was also a worldwide problem at the time affecting workers in China, India, Europe, Russia, Japan and other smaller nations but uh yeah both are a big HELL NO you don't want to suffer ether of those fates.
But radon has just <4 days half-life. then decays into ²¹⁸Po, which has a half-life of ~3 minutes, undergoes a series of quick decays into ²¹⁰Pb which has a long half-life of 22 years, then goes through Bismuth and Polonium (again) and decays into stable ²⁰⁶Pb.
The decay is continuous, but the most dangerous elements (radium itself, radon and polonium) are all relatively short-lived, the main product that the OP smelled would have been radium and lead.
My favorite pastime, sniffing radiation. Only followed by uranium eating.
Full of calories
If you wanna bulk you got a source
or warm up.
Fun fact: Consuming radiated materials will keep you fed for the rest of your life
Mmmmmm, yellowcake.

To be fair they did it all day long for months if not years, this guy only do it one time.
My mind went to the Ghoul in the Fallout TV show but yeah, Voldemort works too.
Wasn't that phossy jaw? From phosphorus?

Bro posted this in r/Radioactive_Rocks fully knowing he has sniffed it
Nothing beats a ²²²Rn holiday, and right now you can save 50 years
Rn is radon, radium is Ra
²²⁶Ra decays into ²²²Rn
Albeit very slowly
Yes. Given the amount of time the jar has been closed and the amount of sulfate, definitely not a healthy dose to sniff

If you have lower jaw pain, take a sip
I like the fact that it literally says what’s in it and he still needed to ask Reddit what’s in it.
