Do not drink mercury. You know the term "mad as a hatter?" That's because of mercury poisoning. They used the stuff to help make hats, and they'd breathe in the fumes. And it drove them loopy.

It's dangerous just to play with - it'll get in your bloodstream by going through your skin and then cause serious problems. You're supposed to limit your consumption of fish just because they contain very small amounts of mercury which can bluild up over time. Actually ingesting the stuff straight could be a very, very bad decision.

Major_Reeves
All vaccines contain Thiomersal which is molecule that contains mercury, and is used as an antiseptic/preservative. You ingest more mercury eating a can of tuna than you get in whole series of vaccine/booster shots.

H1N1 vaccines also contain asbestos, cause impotence, slow absorption of minerals and vitamins, stop acid production in your stomach, increase your risk of STDs, can cause pregnancy in males and can cause your tongue to swell twice its original size.

Alright, so I'm assuming that you are in school and your teachers have told you time and again that even touching mercury is bad for your health, and now some of your buddies dare you to drink some and you consider GOING THROUGH WITH IT!? Dude, go to bed, sober up. Don't kill yourself.

It will kill you, even if you inhale it you would have a small chance at death.

But I guess it all comes down to the amount. =/

Mercury is not a safe drink. Even touching it can mess you up a little since it's such a heavy metal it'll leak through your skin into your hand.

Anything is poisonous in large enough doses.

But yeah, don't drink mercury. That'll kill you pretty easily.

I'm quite baffled.

So your friends made a bet for you to drink mercury?! That's awful. No offense, but your friends sound like douchebags for even considering something like that.

If it turns out they were just joking, why'd you take them seriously?

What would you get out of this bet besides mercury poisoning?

Even breathing the vapor created by mercury can **** you up.

No not at all, of course it does have a side effect of death. No but seriously dont try it, also dont directly touch it, that will cause more problems down the road.
