Most of 'em, yeah.

Ectoplasm is like--it can be a lot of stuff! It can be goop, it can be a ghost's body, it can be energy, it can be like fire or acid...but if you've already touched it and nothing happened other than getting sticky, you're probably alright.

Oh yeah. But it sounds like they didn't leave any of that behind, so, uh. That's good, for you.

Eh, you'll probably be okay without gloves. Seriously, if it doesn't hurt you when you touch it at first and you make sure you don't like swallow any, then you're fine.

...I mean, I think. I don't think anyone's actually done any like long-term studies on human-ectoplasm exposure, but. [ shrugs ] Everyone I know seems to be okay so far?

No one really tries eating it. It's more like, if you accidentally get some in your mouth, or an open wound or something.

Plus, it tastes awful. Like a bunch of old pennies left to rot in a hot carseat, but also bitter somehow.

Sometimes, it's blended into food well enough that you don't notice the aftertaste until after you've had a few bites.

They don't! It's just, sometimes ectoplasm samples get kept in the fridge, and sometimes they uh...do some weird stuff to the food.

We did. It worked for a little while, but then it just started happening again. Doesn't matter, our kitchen is so full of ectoplasm I think it's like melded with every surface in there.

It's fine, I've built up a tolerance.
