<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1171266, member: 15199&quot;]The liquid mercury has very poor absorption into the body through the skin or ingestion. The more concerning exposure is to mercury vapor such as from heating mercury compounds ( certain types of gold processing). the majority of mercury vapor is from coal burning energy plants and volcanoes, so stay away from them. Organomercury compounds such as methyl and ethyl mercury make their way up food chains such as fish, but also in some cases, other meat, They are more easily absorbed into the body. Also some feel that mercury in dental fillings are a potential for toxicity effects, but I will chance it rather than having mine drilled out and replaced.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rolling mercury in your palm is not recommended by far, but little effects would be expected if done only a few times in your life time. But I saw a DVD at my gold club meeting where they were using mercury to pick up the little granules and then heating it to drive off the mercury&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; The author of it ( commercial DVD) said to be careful and bend away from the fumes !!</p><p>IMO only in case you decide to do anything mentioned.</p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
