Mercury alone is safe enough to handle a bit where you would be mostly worried about breathing too much of its vapor. Organic compounds of mercury on the other hand can kill you within days of a drop touching your skin.
Is mercury really one of the most toxic substances? I used to play around with it as a kid.

It is toxic
Not sure what degrees of toxicity are measured in,like is there a Richter scale of toxicity
I tried to think of a witty measurement but it’s late and I’ve had a hard day so I’m going to bed instead.
Hopefully you had a great night’s sleep!
By itself maybe not. But dimethilmercury is scary AF.
Same and I’ve honestly wondered if it’s had lasting damage for awhile now.
