metallic mercury rolled around in your hand is not absorbed through the skin. I don't know, not about to try it, but I think it would just come out the other end if you ate it.
You know, "they" banned lead from paints. But the binder for latex paints is mercury. They have banned mercurial thermometers, course that's metallic mercury and won't be absorbed, BUT, there is mercury in flu shots, children's vaccines, latex paint, and amalgam tooth fillings. go figure! Where is mercury found? In rocks. (Specifically bauxite). so technically, it is a land fill to begin with. 72, Fred - kt5x _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
