I never thought mercury would evaporate like that.

Yes, mercury is quite a common component found in many things. The most common being of course, amalgam fillings (those which look silvery). There have been recent health scares due to people believing that their mercury alloy fillings were causing them sickness due to chronic low level poisoning from vapours eradiating from their fillings. However mostly these vapours are so negligable and are not absorbed into the body.

Not likely, but they thought for ages that Mercury could cure syphillus. For ages they also thought lead acetate was a good sweetener for wine too. Both had the same kind of problems.

Whats a natural source of Mercury, and where does it come from?

It's usually mined from the mineral Cinnabar, which is Mercury Sulfide (HgS), although droplets of mercury metal can be found along with the mineral occasionally. There may be other mercury ores but that's the biggest one that I know of.

That's very true. The key is to get it all into your brain so that it can cause the damage.
