Until this study was done, we did not know if these objects could have affected humans. Imagine if they _had_ discovered the ability of PBHs to e.g. puncture a lung, blood vessel, or brain synapse. Maybe we would better understand e.g. crib death, or Alzheimer's disease.
Wouldn't any parent line their baby's crib with the mass equivalent of a million aircraft carriers in lead, to protect them?

When they start teething they will inevitably start chewing on the soft metal.
