Metallic mercury is pretty innocuous--it's the compounds that are dangerous, and the pure metal isn't terribly reactive. A kid in my high school _drank_ some of the stuff. Didn't seem to do him any harm, he'd done so much LSD that it was hard to tell. Getting out the hazmat team to clean up a broken thermometer is pretty much bureaucrats gone wild. -- -- --John to email, dial "usenet" and validate (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |
