Magnet strong enough to rip the iron out of your body feasible?
Is it possible, given a strong enough magnet, to rip out iron based molecules out of the blood stream/body of a person/animal? Would such an event be the thing that kills someone or are there other adverse effects that would kill a person. I've seen reports of dizziness and metallic taste during MRI scans, but it's not fatal, and AFAIK, the effects of strong magnets on a vertebrate have not been tested.
