Can licking an iron bar get you the daily recommended amount of iron?

How many licks would it take? Can the iron in bars even be processed by the body? Can you do this for other minerals?

I had a bowl of nails this morning…without milk

Yeah, well I stubbed my toe last week while watering my spice garden, and I only cried for 20 minutes.

Wouldn't want the milk to prevent the iron absobtion.
