Can we please stop blaming it on the mercury vapor? There isn't any.
Oh yes, oh yes, there really is!
There are a lot of lamps using mercury vapor! Well, nearly at no air
pressure. Let's say in vacuum. And with a lot of electric energy
as heating energy and very high voltage it is used for UV light
and a lot of other lamps.
Right. A miniscule amount in a vacuum under high electric load can result
in mercury vapor. I've not yet heard of anyone putting high power
Christmas lights on their teeth. :)
