SurlyPIG Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 Yeah mercury is rarely used anymore because, upon handling, trace amounts are absorbed through your hands, and get into your bloodstream and eventually end up in your brains causing accumulative neural damage. But it's still really cool to see it in action. It keeps its lustre and conductivity but it's gooey and viscous. Make sure you take the appropreate safety precautions though.

Inoculator9 Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 Good point. And I meant that if solid mercury were brought into a room it would melt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
