Is mercury really one of the most toxic substances? I used to play around with it as a kid.
Same and I’ve honestly wondered if it’s had lasting damage for awhile now.
Mercury alone is safe enough to handle a bit where you would be mostly worried about breathing too much of its vapor. Organic compounds of mercury on the other hand can kill you within days of a drop touching your skin.
