I have a small bottle of around 50 ml's
That was before everything on the planet was dangerous and would kill you.
So I'm sure it did me no harm.

Yeah, but he was a Nazi spy and he was gay. Not that there's anything wrong with the latter, but there was a lot wrong with the former.

More than you ever wanted to know about Hg.

from school with black fingers from doing it.
<< <i>Waring. Mercury is VERY Toxic. >>
That's nothing, look at this video on what it does to your brain cells..
Mercury destroying brain cells
How does it get into your brain? Vaccine shots.
And they still put this stuff in your vaccine shots! At levels that very detrimental. Right after uranium, mercury is the most toxic metal.
Dental amalgams are almost 50% mercury and is a slow release mechanism to toxify your body.
Mercury has been directly linked to autism, alzheimer's, diabetes and heart disease. The heart's timing mechanism is very similar to brain cells, which is why it causes heart disease.
Stay away from mercury!

A better way of putting it would be STAY AWAY FROM VACCINE SHOTS.

I did that all the time. No harm done....Just can't remember where I did go to school...It'll come to me
Proof sources regarding contemporary mercury hazards (as well as proof that I have far too much time on my hands today):
CDC.gov:
"Mercury and Vaccines (Thimerosal)
Thimerosal is a mercury-containing preservative used in some vaccines and other products since the 1930s. There is no convincing scientific evidence of harm caused by the low doses of thimerosal in vaccines, except for minor reactions like redness and swelling at the injection site. However, in July 1999, the Public Health Service agencies, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and vaccine manufacturers agreed that thimerosal should be reduced or eliminated in vaccines as a precautionary measure.
"Since 2001, with the exception of some influenza (flu) vaccines, thimerosal is not used as a preservative in routinely recommended childhood vaccines."
ADA.org:
"Amalgam Fillings
Used by dentists for more than a century, dental amalgam is the most thoroughly researched and tested restorative material among all those in use. It is durable, easy to use, highly resistant to wear and relatively inexpensive in comparison to other materials. For those reasons, it remains a valued treatment option for dentists and their patients.
"Dental amalgam is a stable alloy made by combining elemental mercury, silver, tin, copper and possibly other metallic elements. Although dental amalgam continues to be a safe, commonly used restorative material, some concern has been raised because of its mercury content. However, the mercury in amalgam combines with other metals to render it stable and safe for use in filling teeth.
"While questions have arisen about the safety of dental amalgam relating to its mercury content, the major U.S. and international scientific and health bodies, including the National Institutes of Health, the U.S. Public Health Service, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration and the World Health Organization, among others have been satisfied that dental amalgam is a safe, reliable and effective restorative material.
"Because amalgam fillings can withstand very high chewing loads, they are particularly useful for restoring molars in the back of the mouth where chewing load is greatest. They are also useful in areas where a cavity preparation is difficult to keep dry during the filling replacement, such as in deep fillings below the gum line. Amalgam fillings, like other filling materials, are considered biocompatible—they are well tolerated by patients with only rare occurrences of allergic response.
"Disadvantages of amalgam include possible short-term sensitivity to hot or cold after the filling is placed. The silver-colored filling is not as natural looking as one that is tooth-colored, especially when the restoration is near the front of the mouth, and shows when the patient laughs or speaks. And to prepare the tooth, the dentist may need to remove more tooth structure to accommodate an amalgam filling than for other types of fillings."
<< <i>What do they use that stuff in anyway? It's not really used in thermometers anymore. >>
One use is in all those compact flourescent light bulbs that the green groups are all pushing everyone to use because they save energy...problem is, they're full of mercury, one of the most harmful toxins! Most people just toss these things in the trash when they go out rather than treating them like the hazardous waste they are, creating a landfill timebomb. There is irony, there.

You need to do more than Google some topic and believe what the government tells you, I've done the research.
It is a LIE that Thimerosal is removed from vaccines. They made a VERY small percentage available at 3 times the price to those that know enough to ask. Then they claimed Thimerosal was removed from ALL vaccines. It is NOT.
Don't believe me? Next time you go and get a vaccine shot, ask to look at the insert they give with the shot and you WILL SEE Thimerosal. Go ahead and try it, I guarantee you will see it there. Look at the insert for the shots they give your kids and you will see it still there!
Look at this video that gives actual facts and shows the scam pulled by the big pharma on Thimerosal and vaccines in general.

Amalgams are a stable alloy? It has been shown that after a decade, the mercury will have greatly been reduced in the amalgam. Because it has evaporated and entered your body! Just brushing your teeth will greatly increase the mercury vapors!
Here is a BBC documentary on the 'safety' of amalgams... LOOK AT IT if you think mercury is safe.
Poison in the Mouth
Mercury is very bad and should be avoided at all cost!
"Mad Hatters" were insane from mercury exposure used in making hats in the 1800's. This stuff has been known for a LONG time to be toxic.
Look at the videos and decide for yourself. Don't be ignorant.
The ovens, over the course of about a year, would develop slag, and someone would have to go inside the oven to dislodge the crud and clean it out. The amount of mercury exposure for this job was widely known to be deadly. This unlucky soul would have only about a year, perhaps two to live after doing such a task; the person would inevitably come down with some sort of chronic illness, infection, cancer or the like. The owners of the mines had plenty of volunteers; all they had to do is pay 20 times the daily wage to get someone willing to clean the oven...and suffer certain death. It's amazing to me that folks would do such a thing with full knowledge of the hideous consequences.
