Either way, 1000g is 1 Kg, and I can't voluntarily ingest 100% of my body weight of anything, on a given day.
it was a joke such as to imply it is not significantly toxic sarcasm is hard to convey through text if you actually want to know about the subject here you go http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxprofiles/tp132-c3.pdf weening rats feed 300mg/kg in there food died after two weeks basically a human would have to eat and absorb 2-3 bullets a day regularly so get sick
so yes you can get sick from less than your own bodywork worth of copper but you would basically need to try to get sick off it to have any real effect
there is also detailed information about airborne copper exposure in the toxicological profile link
Punctuation is for the weak....
