DU dust particles has that sort effect on people. And worse.
I remember being told a story by a quite prominent member of Parliament of a case involving members of Her Majesty's armed forces who were guests at US facility and a fight broke out between US and Brits. The next day, the Brit officer rounded up the offending members of his command and as a punishment detail had them clear up a site that had been heavily contaminated with DU dust. They were forbidden to wear protective gear.
Nice chap that officer. The sort who gave "fragging" a good name.
It's the sort of story one might ordinarily discard but the Parliamentarian was well versed, specialized in fact, on military matters and I have not the slightest doubt the story was true.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
