#80, good 'ol Hg: When you find 1 lb of mercury in the glovebox

[deckeda]

I read it's "safe" drink it. Why or how, I don't know. One site said you're in trouble when it vaporizes, another said that only happens at hundreds of degrees. I'm not looking to make this a research project, nor a science project unless hey! you can suggest something cool that's not a thermostat and requires glass blowing.

OK so if it's no big deal to mail I'm guessing spills / skin contact aren't dangerous?

I thoroughly washed my hands (FWIWI) after learning what it is ... just wish I could remember to do that after slicing up fresh jalapeños.
