Liquid Mercury

When I was growing up in pre-EPA days we had a little blob of it that we liked to push around, poke, etc., and my mom used Mercurichrome on my cuts. I'm still alive, so I guess the liquid isn't too toxic. However, I believe that the fulminates and several other compounds are very toxic.

From what I found (quick search) it is most dangerous when inhaled (fatal) - not likely with liquid mercury.

Good luck...
