I like the ‘tone’ bit at the bottom.
Inhalation of high concentrations of dust containing nickel compounds can cause lung and nasal cancer. Good luck inhaling a pickup or a set of strings though.
It is a known contact allergen, so its use in the EU is prohibited in any product intended for direct and prolonged skin contact such as watch straps/cases, jewellery and clothes fastenings. So far strings and bridges seem to have slipped under the radar.

Although it seems it's far riskier to inhale particles of nickel in enviroments where metal is being cut, ground etc than it is to play guitars with AlNiCo pickups.
Fun fact: Eddie Van Halen reckoned his throat cancer was caused by putting metal picks in his mouth.

Health warning...being a member of the fretboard can cause repetitive strain injury, eye strain, and headaches, and mobile phones can give you cancer.
And in these difficult Covid times, please be sure to keep social distancing and keep your screen at least 2m away from you at all times!
From Wikipedia
' Van Halen struggled with alcoholism and drug abuse. He began smoking and drinking at the age of 12, and he stated that he eventually needed alcohol to function.[79] He entered rehabilitation in 2007,[80] and later shared in an interview that he had been sober since 2008.[79]
Suffering from lingering injuries from past, high-risk, acrobatic stage performances and crashes, Van Halen underwent hip replacement surgery in 1999, after his chronic avascular necrosis, with which he was diagnosed in 1995, became unbearable.[81] He began receiving treatment for tongue cancer in 2000. The subsequent surgery removed roughly a third of his tongue. He was declared cancer-free in 2002.[82] He blamed the tongue cancer on his habit of holding guitar picks in his mouth, stating in 2015: "I used metal picks – they're brass and copper – which I always held in my mouth, in the exact place where I got the tongue cancer. ... I mean, I was smoking and doing a lot of drugs and a lot of everything. But at the same time, my lungs are totally clear. This is just my own theory, but the doctors say it's possible."[82]

And I'm not even 100% sure about the first one!!
How do they know it was the coffee that caused the cancer?
It could've been the nickel in the hypodermic needles used to inject the mice.
