    You know as a child, we used to play with mercury, had some let it run and go from hand to hand, keep it in a small tube.

    I will not get into the amount of exposure needed, or the fact that mercury is not used often any longer. But if you are worried, see a doctor. I would ask, do you often worry yourself sick, thinking you may have something, can cause physcial issues. If this is the case, that also needs to be dealt with
