I’m pretty sure everyone is allergic to having their skin and lungs rubbed with mica.

Yeah, moon dust is basically microscopic shrapnel. No one should be breathing that shit in.
Isn't moon dust just sand?
50% SiO2, 15% Al2O3, 10% CaO, 10% MgO, 5% TiO2 and 5-15% iron
All those oxides but the iron is pure? SUS.
Moon dust is functionally a lot like asbestos. It is composed of a sizeable amount of tiny shards of rock that aren't great for your lungs.
Yea, you should really consider that before breathing on the moon
Here's a source for this: https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Human_and_Robotic_Exploration/The_toxic_side_of_the_Moon
He's a climate change denier though.
For reference: https://www.newsweek.com/last-man-walk-moon-allergic-lunar-dust-1449945
But. Moon dust is poisonous and gets everywhere.
