Unfortunately, people swallow mercury all the time when they eat fish. Fish that are being caught in the ocean are being tested for higher and higher levels of mercury. No one knows how this effects the human body over time.

Man years ago i swallowed some metallic mercury -- grade 6, stupid friends, don't ask how -- and I am still all right, I swear! (You might want to check with my wife) Anyway, I went to the emerg and was told that it would likely pass through my system, especially if the amount was small. The fumes from a larger volume might cause problems, but it is unlikely.
Chemical compounds of mercury are often toxic..although small quantities of them (for example, thimerosol) are sometimes used for preservatives on substances people might ingest.
I suggest you check with a poison control centre, just to make sure.

no longer precisely beneficial what occurs, despite the fact which you will no longer die. Mercury is poisonous in that is gaseous form. for some years mercury became prescribed via docs for disillusioned stomachs and that i've got faith it remains used on uncommon events exterior the U.S. despite the fact that i do no longer think of anybody could surely propose attempting it in recent times.
