Any "TINY" mercury spill is so hazardous to human life that 2 schools in Kansas City were forced to close down for a full EPA Hazardous Waste Crew to clean-up the entire area exposed.

TRULY, NO AMOUNT of MERCURY is SAFE for humans.

Dr. Bernadine Healy M.D.,
former head of the Red Cross and Science Advisor to the White House, has
said that INJECTING MERCURY into the arms of children is LUNACY.

The good Dr. Donald Miller, cardiac surgeon and Professor of Surgery at the University of Washington in Seattle, recently did http://www.lewrockwell.com/miller/miller14.html an article about the dangers of mercury in vaccines and amalgam fillings. 
*
 The CDC has a position on 
Thimerosal (49% ethyl-mercury based preservative) in flu vaccines http://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/qa/
thimerosal.htm 
posted to its website.

Without admitting that Thimerosal might be responsible for the epidemics of autism, alzheimers, and ADD in this country, the CDC gives us a s.o.p.(agency line) about taking it out or removing it.

Reading the fine print, however, tells us: "the majority of influenza vaccines distributed in the United States currently contain Thimerosal as a preservative."

Furthermore, in a bit of regulatory trickery, the FDA is letting smaller amounts go undisclosed : "..some contain only trace amounts of Thimerosal and are considered by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be preservative-free."

In other words, even if you ask to see the vaccine label, check for Thimerosal, and get a warm fuzzy feeling about the shot being labeled "Thimerosal free," thanks to the FDA's accommodation of drug manufacturers, it could still contain mercury. *

[Read current 20 page results of a study
by Dr. Mark Geier M.D., noted researcher, linking ethyl-mercury to brain disorders:
Journal of Am. Phys. and Surgeons: http://www.jpands.org/vol8no1/geier.pdf ]
*

When the major manufacturers of flu vaccine get together with the CDC in a closed door summit with the sole purpose of figuring out how to stick 185 million doses of a questionable vaccine into a population in which less than 1,000 people a year die, what should we call it ?
  Yes, Virginia, it is a conspiracy.

Luckily the conspirators are foolish enough to believe that their website is safely hidden amidst all the chaff of the Internet, or else, are so brazen in their contempt for the general population that they think we can't do a little math and conclude The vaccine doesn't work, and the flu is a flim-flam!

PLEASE GO TO THE CDC'S WEBSITE and
ENTER A BIRTHDATE OF A CHILD BORN TODAY
TO GET THEIR "RECOMMENDED VACCINES"
(which public school systems adhere to)
FOR THIS CHILD BY THE TIME THEY ENTER 1ST GRADE; IT'S THIRTY SHOTS BY AGE 6. PLUS 6 MORE IF YOU ADD A FLU SHOT FOR EACH YEAR of AGE. THAT EQUALS 36 SHOTS for kids by age 6 WHICH COULD CONTAIN ETHYL-MERCURY, A KNOWN BRAIN TOXIN.
That is far over the EPA's limit for mercury exposure for adults.

ALL FLU SHOTS FROM MULTI-DOSE BOTTLES DO HAVE ADDED MERCURY POISON.

ALL OF THOSE FREE H1N1 SHOTS DID CONTAIN MERCURY POISON.

A blood test for heavy metals poisoning can indicate
if a person has mercury poisoning. The amount discovered in the blood is 6 times more concentrated in the brain, where it migrates and continues to destroy brain tissue until removed.

The pathology of mercury poisoning is nearly identical to that of autism and other severe neurological disorders.

[NOTE: Chealation therapy can be of help in removing mercury.
Detoxamin is a brand of oral type of chealation found online. Other types are available.]

And, most people won’t bother to clean them up in an “environmentally safe” manner if they do break, because familiarity breeds complacency.

The EPA’s “uninhabitable” mercury level probably reflects a far lower daily dose from the exposure than what the kids get from fish sandwiches for lunch, and that would require all the mercury to get vaporized and be mixed evenly in the air.

“We used to play with it all the time. Fun stuff”

So did I. Broke a thermometer one time and caught the mercury on something to retain it. Thought it was so cool that I coated my class ring with it. Turned the yellow gold white for awhile. Forget how I got it off the ring.

As a senior citizen, I am still blessed with good health as were/are my children and theirs.

I’m beginning to doubt whether these fools know anything at all - despite or because of all their degrees.

They said the amount of mercury was the size of a pencil eraser. Give me an F’ing break. This is ridiculous. Our parents spent half their toddler years in cribs painted with LEAD PAINT. This “indoctrination” crap is out of control, and WORSE for the kids than Mercury or lead.

In fact, physicians used to give liquid mercury orally as a laxative (by its weight to force waste through the alimentary canal). Liquid mercury is virtually harmless to touch. Vapor is harmful, but it tends to collect in low places. Bacterial decomposition in contact with water or underwater can produce toxic compounds.

They need to clean up the Sierra. Go to any river in gold country, pull up a clump of grass from the bank, wash out the dirt and mercury will probably be in the pan. I once washed out a pint of it from 5 five gallon buckets of fine dirt which had fallen through a long tom (the long tom was long gone but its path could be traced from the hydraulic diggings to where it ended at a cliff above the North Fork of the Yuba River).

I recall as a kid in school, another kid did a Science Fair project and it had the silver Mercury from a thermometer, was rolling it around in hand etc.

I actually held it for a bit, too.

I also burned my finger sticking it into a cup of freon another kid used for his project.

Crazy, I wouldn’t play with it now, but still, nobody dropped dead or anything.

The curly mercury light bulb is the symbol of environmental hypocrisy. The "environmentalists" ignore a real hazards like mercury. because they really just want control over people and to have a self-righteous cause.

Still done, IIRC, in some places in South America. Use mercury to dissolve the gold out of the silt, then boil off the mercury right in the open air.

Nonsense.

When I was a kid, we had a vial of mercury downstairs is the basement workroom. Every once in a while, we’d take the chunk of metal and drop it in the palm of our hand and watch is slowly melt. Then we’d roll it around a bit, and watch it flow like water around our hand. Then pour it back in the bottle, where it would solidify again.

I must have done that every month for years. No side effects I can think of — if you don’t count the extra tonsil growing from my ear.

I saw this on History or Discovery and was amazed how these people just breath in the boiled mercury fumes like its nothing. A good operation of 3-5 people could bring in a couple hundred a day and in a poor nation that is a lot.

Are you sure that was mercury? AFAIK, mercury is a liquid at room temperature and wouldn't need the heat of your hand to melt it. I think there's another metal that does that but it isn't mercury.

Genuine mercury would not solidify at cool room temperatures. You might have had a mercury free alloy akin to Woods metal.

For safety they could observe a wide berth around the pan or pot until it has finished boiling (the heavy vapors would collect near the ground rather than filling the air), however that obviously opens up the possibility of robbery or theft of the contents.

Mercury should not be considered safe just because wacko liberals are SOMETIMES against it.

Mercury - thimerosol - certianly is still in many vaccines. The link below lists vaccines by type and manufacturer and you will see that many have thimerosol, as well as other goodies such as formaldehyde, human serum, aluminum compounds, and other stuff that I personally would never put into my bloodstream.

Components of Vaccines

Vaccines are made with a variety of ingredients including antigens, stabilizers, adjuvants, and preservatives; they may also contain residual by-products from the production process. Knowing precisely what is in each vaccine can be helpful when investigating adverse events following vaccination and for choosing alternative products for persons who have allergies or have had an adverse event known or suspected to be related to a vaccine component.

The following tables were prepared using information from the 2005-08 Physician’s Desk Reference (PDR), the manufacturer’s package inserts and ImmunoFacts by JD Grabenstein. Since package inserts can change and there are sometimes small modifications in the components, the most recent package inserts (links available in the tables) should be reviewed to verify specific information. The tables were prepared in July and August 2005 and have been updated.

Below are links to tables organized by Excipients, Allergens, and Vaccine Type.

Elemental (liquid) mercury is so harmless you can swallow a small amount and suffer zero harm. If left alone in the school it would no cause any problems, period.
