High zinc intake ( zinc toxicity) can cause nausea, vomiting, pain, cramps and diarrhea. He states that he has always suspected he contains too much zinc, which he believes makes people think he is weird, thus missing Megan's point: what is weird is not Beret Guy's elemental content, but his ability to apparently see everything as atoms sorted by element. Megan finds this bizarre and asks Beret Guy what is wrong with him. This shows his "atomic vision" extends beyond the surface of the substances. In this case he sees the metal atoms her dental fillings are composed of. Since Beret Guy sees the atoms Megan is composed of (mostly oxygen, carbon and hydrogen) he only notices the unusual atoms. To confirm this, Megan asks Beret Guy what he sees when he looks at her face, expecting that a normal person would describe the arrangement of colors and features that they see. However, Beret Guy seems to be able to identify all the elements the substance is composed of just by eyeballing it, making him perhaps the perfect elemental analysis instrument. Such analyses typically involve many instruments and steps to prepare the sample. It seems to be some kind of silicate containing a small amount of iron (a common example of this would be red sandstone), and she is running a test to see if it contains beryllium (a rarer element whose best-known natural form is as a component of emerald). In this comic, Megan is preparing a sample of what appears to be some mineral for elemental analysis. This comic shows another quirky and fantastical ability of Beret Guy. I always recognized my mom because she had a bunch of extra plutoniums in her middle. Title text: When I was little I had trouble telling my dad apart from the dog.
