My dad gave me a bottle of mercury when I was a little boy back in the early 60`s and I brought it to school for show and tell. I remember spilling some of it in the hallway and spending half an hour trying to collect it and get it back in the bottle. It was rolling all over the place. I never told anybody and I guarantee that there`s still some of it on the floor. That old school building is now a police station.

I think that the mercury that was left might've slowly turn into gaseous state over the years. It is quite keen to "boil" off in around normal air pressure and room temperature so, there might be no trace of it left.

My father would bring small vials of mercury home for me to play with when I was a child (back in the early 60s). I never used any hazardous material protection while playing with it. Then as an adult I worked in a chemical plant where we used many many tons of mercury in the process of making chlorine. All of this exposure to elemental mercury had no effect on me. Due to my exposure to mercury, my doctor has run every test he could think of to make sure that there were no ill effects.

You should try painting the back of bullets with *glow in the dark paint. Perhaps it will make a tracer* that doesn't light things on fire. You have to get the paints that allow you to "charge them" aka phosphorescent... You can charge them with sun light, black lights, UV lights, etc. DO NOT GET THE COLOR RED THOUGH. Get a color such as green, it naturally glows brighter and longer... supposedly 12 hours after a full charge. I've never tested this, I have no clue if it works but I think it would be interesting to see in slow motion! *Like if you want to see this!*

I still remember, in 7th grade, some moron in my class secretly got into the school's Hg stash and spilled some; the janitor, when cleaning the lab, had his gold wedding band amalgamate with the mercury, and that's how they knew what happened. And all the teachers were freaked out, because they didn't know who was responsible, so they pulled the old "you're not in trouble, we just need to know who did it for their own safety because Hg is so dangerous - you may have been poisoned, so please tell us who did it" routine. Nobody fessed up (at least, not publicly). And I can guarantee that the person would have been in trouble...and also that they weren't poisoned. And then, the summer right after this school year, I attended a science/engineering day camp where we got to make our own security alarms that went off when they were turned a certain way, using...you guessed it - mercury switches! I still don't know what happened to the one I made; this was the 90s, and back then, it was acceptable to send kids home with a science project containing mercury. Nowadays, that would NEVER happen. In my experience, people both underestimate and overestimate how dangerous mercury is. The liquid is pretty safe to handle, even with bare skin, but some people treat it like just accidentally touching it is a massive risk. But being in a warm, poorly-ventilated room with liquid Hg is *quite dangerous,* since the vapors are pretty bioavailable. Eating a teaspoon of metallic Hg is relatively safe (though I wouldn't recommend it) - it'll pass right through you, with almost none of it remaining in your tissues (since there is no bioavailability - the acid in your stomach does not dissolve Hg very well). [Actually, this used to be a "prank" chemists played on each other back in the '60s and '70s, putting 3 or 4 teaspoons of Hg into a co-worker's coffee (unbeknownst to them) - they'd drink it and then be able to actually feel the mass of molten metal as it worked its way through their esophagus, stomach and intestines (I bet it felt very strange).] But working in a poorly-ventilated area with a teaspoon of Hg for 8 hours will result in about 1 milligram of the stuff entering your body - enough to produce a measurable increase in the Hg concentration of your blood (and mercury doesn't really manifest in blood all that well - it concentrates in the brain mainly). And if you are exposed even to this small inhaled amount, over and over, because your job entails working with small amounts of mercury in a poorly-ventilated room...you will suffer life-long, chronic brain damage. I know because my high school chemistry teacher (great guy, definitely my favorite teacher) worked in the chemical supply business when he was in his 20s, before becoming a teacher *(and crucially, before the development of WHMIS).* He was exposed to mercury on a daily basis, inhaled just like this...and by the time he was 40 years old, he already had memory issues and significant facial tics that were beyond his control (and which progressively got worse, even though the exposure had stopped decades before). He is in rough shape now - there is very little that doctors can do for a guy in this condition. It's like he has Parkinson's disease or something...scary stuff. But by far the most dangerous varieties of mercury are the COMPOUNDS. Dissolving mercury in nitric acid (as showed in the video) is incredibly dangerous, because mercury nitrate is extremely bioavailable to animal tissue. Spill a little on your hand and it's like you were breathing the vapors from a pound of mercury for a week. Not good. And the organic compounds are even worse. There was a researcher in the '90s who was working with concentrated dimethyl mercury, wearing GLOVES no less, and she spilled a couple drops (no more than a milliliter or two) on her hand, which she washed off immediately, took off the gloves right then, washed her hands thoroughly, and thought nothing of it. She was dead not even a year later, after suffering horrendous neurological damage. So I am not scared of the liquid, as long as it's in a properly-ventilated area, and I'm not spending too much time near it. But mercury's many chemical compounds terrify me.
