Will this one make me blind too? |

Well, it's nearly 4 years on ... and the Op hasn't posted since. Do we assume the worst? I'd say not. |

In my childhood and teenage years I played with mercury. I do not recall ever swallowing any. I am now 79 years old and still kicking. I am not a medical expert, but that should tell you something. And not just about mercury. I wonder whatever became of that bottle of mercury that I had collected. I think I may have donated it to a lab somewhere. |

Any accident is anecdotal. I wouldn't count on it. I will just leave this one here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karen_Wetterhahn |

--- Quote from: HighVoltage on September 13, 2019, 06:56:17 am ---As a kid, long before I knew about its dangerous properties, I played with liquid mercury for days and weeks and tried to suck it as high as possible in a straw and sometimes ended up having it in my mouth. No worries! --- End quote --- Ditto! no problems so far in my nearly 64 years of life in this planet. now... wait!... this may be the reason why I'm so... Whatever! :D Now seriously, mercury ended up in my mouth several times in my childhood. Not something I'm particularly proud of but also not something I worry about much! |
