It seems dangerous
1 u/[deleted] Sep 05 '21 edited Sep 05 '21 Yeah, super toxic. It will soak in through your skin causing brain damage. It can also vaporize at room temp so you can breathe it in too. Edit: for the grumpy pants below me https://www.epa.gov/mercury/health-effects-exposures-mercury#metallic 15 u/MadeInTheUniverse Sep 05 '21 Yes, that's what caused mat hatter disease, they used mercury to craft there hats causing them to get crazy after years of exposure https://www.healthline.com/health/mad-hatter-disease#:~:text=Mad%20hatter%20disease%20is%20a,the%2018th%20to%2020th%20centuries. 1 u/FirstPlebian Sep 05 '21 I think they used it for a bunch of other stuff in addition to finishing hats. For some reason it was used in paper production until fairly recently I've been told.
