I just broke my thermometer. What would happen if i licked up the mercury?

Question

Then i wouldn't have to use kitchenpaper.
It's known to be toxic, but surely such a small amount wouldn't hurt?
Would it hurt more then have some cocaïne?

@tiggleman27:
Well, they DID use it in THIS thermometer. The cover looks like 50 years old or so.

Answer 1

I think you should try it and then get back to us on the results, if you can.

Answer 2

ohh trust me...a small amount would kill u...and if it doesn't when u have childern, they will die shortly after birth (i learnt this is biology class). Use the kitchen paper....cause if u prefer to lick it up, then you're just crazy (no offence but let's face reality here) And cocaine.....i can't stop u but i can advise u that u shouldn't do it unless u wanna become a druggie and an addict and have ppl look down on u. hope u make the right decisions.

Answer 3

You *might* die, but you'd prolly just fall really ill at most.

But i'm no doctor.

Have some fast-food instead, it does pretty much the same thing but at least it tastes better.

Answer 4

You'll get sick... maybe it won't kill you but mercury attacks your central nervous system.

Answer 5

Answer 8
