Can I lick it?
You're viewing a single thread.
Lick mercury? Plenty of people carry lumps of it right in their teeth, 24/7.
Technically they're amalgams with silver or other metals. Different properties and such.
I responded similarly when I saw this posted before. Yes, mercury can be very toxic if it gets into your blood, but the chances of that happening from a lick are astonishingly small.
To my understanding, organic compounds are where the real danger is with mercury.
