With arsenic's effect on us, what happens if clumsy scientist let this loose on the Earth???


Well it's just a bacteria with arsenic in DNA found in a very specific place. I doubt it could thrive anywhere else. I doubt it is any more of a danger than any of millions of bacteria species out there.

Even if you found "arsenic mushrooms", for instance, you'd need to eat 1 kg worthy of them so the arsenic is enough to kill you.
