It is true that if you swallow samll amounts of liquid mercury very little of it makes it into the blood stream. If that were not true, then children would get done in with the mercury thermometers.
Although some will react and become compounds that can make it into the system, it is in the system for only a few days so the exposure is limited. Unlike the mercury in your mouth that is there for a lifetime. The msds however indicates it to be more severe, with up to 5% being absorbed if swallowed. http://www.jtbaker.com/msds/m1599.htm Marshall [email protected] wrote: > JOH: "Pure mercury may be eaten without consequences."
