When I think about rust (which, I’ll admit, is not very often), I usually consider it in the same category as moss. It’s present in damp areas, can be an annoying nuisance, but isn’t a major threat. Unlike a tiger, I’m not worried about rust attempting to eat me.
However, rust can be surprisingly deadly. And I’m not just talking about tetanus — although I’ll cover that as well.
If you’re not careful, spending time in a rust-filled environment can prove toxic. People have died from being around too much rust.
