How much human contact with mercury would it take before blood poisoning occurs?

Do you know, have you ever experienced such a thing?

mercury is only poisonous if it gets into your blood stream. it's harmless when in contact to the skin. you can literally dip your hand into liquid mercury that nothing will happen.
did you actually went to school? it looks like you had a retard education

@unknownpoetx Well, you could say that, we were told not to touch it in school.

Mercury metal forms a layer of oxide..(rust) on it's surface..
getting it on your hands and then eating something without washing first would be hazardous...

it's stupid to touch bare mercury -.- it may get into contact with other surfaces and eventually it will get into your bloodstream. you should only play with it if you have chemistry knowledge and take precautions. go read about mercury effects. and if you want to play with liquid metal just choose gallium.
