Galium and  Health

While Gallium can be found in the human body in very small amounts, there is no evidence for it harming the body. In fact, Gallium (III) salt is used in many pharmaceuticals, used as treatment for hypercalcemia, which can lead to growth of tumors on bones. Further, it has even been suggested that it can be used to treat cancer, infectious disease, and inflammatory disease. However, exposure to large amounts of Gallium can cause irritation in the throat, chest pains, and the fume it produces can lead to very serious conditions.
