<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 2865769, member: 66"]It can't be absorbed through the skin, and in it's metallic form it really isn't that bad. Many chemical compounds of mercury, especially organic mercury compounds, can be very poisonous but they aren't that easy to form. Now I wouldn't CHEW on a mercury covered piece of metal, or heat it up and breathe the fumes that come off of it, but other than that mercury really isn't anywhere near as dangerous as people make it out to be.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
