Gallium is an irritant and corrosive. Inhalation, injestion and contact result in damage to the exposed tissues. Chronic inhalation is thought to reduce bone marrow production. Carcinogenic and mutagenic effects are not well investigated at the time of this writing.

Can the freezing temperature of galinstan be lowered?

Yes, the freezing temperature of galinstan, a low-melting alloy primarily composed of gallium, indium, and tin, can potentially be lowered by adding other metals or adjusting the alloy's composition. However, the effectiveness of such modifications would depend on the specific metals chosen and their respective properties. It's important to carefully consider the resulting alloy's characteristics, as changes might also affect its other physical properties.
