There are isolated cases of EVERYTHING. People will do anything with everything and that is why OSHA et al are such complicated messes.
Its the difference between possible and plausible.

OK but the point of ChubbyEmu videos isn’t “this thing is GOING TO KILL YOU,” it’s “look at this weird thing that happened and the toxicology behind it,.” In fact, he goes out of his way to reassure people that these things aren’t likely to happen in the videos where viewers might get anxious, like the cases involving leftovers. There’s been a couple videos where he’s straight-up said “this was a freak accident.”
More generally, the fact that the events aren’t likely is part of what can make case studies valuable; i.e. “this sequence of events is highly unlikely to happen again in this specific way, so let’s examine it closely and see what we can learn from it.”
