Answers: just wondering what does it do???
The nervous system is very sensitive to all forms of mercury.
Methylmercury and metallic mercury vapors are more
harmful than other forms, because more mercury in these forms reaches the brain. Exposure to high levels of metallic, inorganic, or organic mercury can permanently damage the brain, kidneys, and developing fetus. Effects on brain functioning may result in irritability, shyness, tremors, changes in vision or hearing, and memory problems.
Short-term exposure to high levels of metallic mercury
vapors may cause effects including lung damage, nausea,vomiting, diarrhea, increases in blood pressure or heart rate, skin rashes, and eye irritation.
it affects all your organs, especially the brain.
toxic and poisonous.
when we were kids, we use to drop a thermometer and try to catch the mercury..the mercury didn't hurt us as much as our mom did when she saw what we had done.
Yes, mercury is extremely toxic. Don't ever touch it directly.
