old bottle
mask-of-sanity asked:

i have an old bottle of mecury in my cupboard, was belonging to my grandfather from years ago when the health risks were pretty much unknown..
theres probably about 100mls in the bottle..

also a few years ago i spilt about 20mls and it dropped to the ground and split into thousand of tiny balls of mecury and spread all through the house..i picked up alot of them with sticky tape, but i wouldn have gotten them all.
could this effect my health in any way? or my familys?

    Look in the paper for a hazardous waste collection day in your area. We have one every few months in my area.
