There are different reasons to not lick them too. Some of them will explode if you lick them.

The alkali metals. Starting with lithium, but it probably won’t explode, just burn. Sodium, potassium, and rubidium will explode from your saliva. Cesium and francium will explode just from the moisture in the air.
