Half a gram of dimethylmercury :o That is certainly lethal. :o

Hehe, I so agree.

Particularly enjoyed the part "got infected with mercury poisoning"... guess I tend to "get infected with alcohol poisoning" every now & then then.

Back to on topic, enlighting to see how mercury vapor can be spotted, kinda cool if you ask me..

Have bunch of the stuff, though rarely open the containers, and will even rarer from now on.

Toxicity-wise I remember old people tell me that they used to dust their beds with it in the old days to kill lice and the like, also heard they ate the stuff for some stomach ills.




Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
