I learned that when I was 6 years old and played with the "stuff" that came out of the thermometer. Mom told me it was mercury and I could get mercury poisoning from playing with it.
according to my physics teacher, if you actually had contact with real mercury, you have quite a chance of having cancer eventually... so you have to be careful... but most likely you played with mercury-chrome... which is safe... and red...
One of my batchmates, once swallowed mercury.

This was silver, not red. It was one of the oldschool human thermometers. It was really cool to play with ^^
It may have still not been the dangerous kind. Regardless, the guy's a moron.
He must have been really bored...
i would say he must have been sick of life to do something that mad.
ill bet some idiot challenged him to see how much gold he could recover.
i played with mercury as a kid but at no time did i release the toxic vapours into the air :/
