    Depends on the amount, but if it is enough, you will surely get heavy metal poisoning, similar to what happens with cadmium and arsenic and other metals. Either way, due to activated radioactivity or uranium's toxic chemistry, DU in the body is not good.

    I am no doctor but i would have to say that anyone who has this problem will most likely get cancer and most likely bone cancer and other heart related issues.
