Technically, you seem to be right:

Wikipedia: Gadolinium (Gd, #64)

But I believe that chances to be exposed to it are very low. I guess there are a lot more probable causes of poisoning...

Medication having side effects is nothing new. Weighing possible benefits and risks is always difficult. Die next month because the radiologist couldn't see the aneurism without contrast or have possible problems in a few years? Life itself is a risk, so I fully agree: Don't freak out.  :)

On a sidenote, why do you make such a mystery about it? It's all published. (At least the abstract. Fulltext requires subscription by your local university.)

Either ingested or injected. It's a white, dusty liquid. Somehow. I've been told, I don't know. But gadolinium is radiactive...

They make you drink barium when imaging things like your upper gastro intestinal track... it's nasty, thick, chalky stuff by the way. Worse part is that they keep making you drink the stuff even after you are quite sure you can't keep it down. -_-

Well, sucks for the people. Negative selection for those, just improves the gene pool of those remaining.

Doesn't prove anything at all as correlation does not equate causation, this complete business looks more and more like homeopathy to me. Irrational fear of a few who don't understand modern medicine, just like those idiots who refuse vaccination.

Helmeted centipedes arrived here via frozen comets from the depths of space ages ago. They are stupidly wise, eat metal, and prefer names like Doretta and Cornelius.
