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've read once that eating iron won't do anything for your iron intake, but for example sticking some rusty nails through an apple for a while and then eating the apple would.
I think you'd lose just as much iron if not more iron in the blood you'd lose consuming that apple.
What about sticking 5" iron nails into your nose?

They're about four inches too short, mate.
