How the absolute fuck do you happen to "find" unidentified material from a hospital basement, that just so happens to glow bright enough to see with no other energy input, take it home, steam message a friend, and see no harm in it?
How long have they actually held it in their hands or in pockets?
Do you know this person, irl?

I was curious what the glowing material is and follow the link in the screen cap and see the second image. Now I am here to see if anyone know what it is. Could be fake, idk, trying to verify it here.

The idiot could be anywhere in the world. If someone can figure out what language the inscription vial is, that might help.
