I had a test tube full as a kid. After all my experiments I had half a test tube and my hands were stained black.

Guess I should have been dead long ago. We kids all had great fun playing with mercury. Roll the little balls in your hand and it leaves a blackish stain. Rub it on a dime (silver, of course,) and it shines like nothing else, but the shine fades.

Later we all got mouthfuls of mercury in the fillings for our teeth.

Wonder how many of us are dead or worse from being poisoned beyond belief.
