I had a SH post a few years ago about the effective regulatory and safe-handling process controls that are in place regarding hazardous industrial materials such as GaAs, but I'm too lazy to go find it.

don't crack open the microchips to lick them.

they are not candy.

PS: it's this kind of idiotic hysteria, why in California there are warning stickers to not let children errr "special snowflakes" play house inside the microwave oven, and GIANT decals strongly suggesting that to drink floor wax is a poor way to spend your free time. phooey! I say, let Darwin do his magic, and weed out the stupid ones from the gene pool.
