Mercury spills occur across the country, sometimes as a result of children finding mercury and handling it. Mercury contamination is a serious health risk. This video was produced by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry and the Environmental Protection Agency specifically for children to strongly communicate that children should never touch mercury. Please share this video as widely as possible.

    If mercury is so bad, why are we supposed to inject it into our bodies?

    Thiomersal was removed from most vaccines already.

    Notice how they protect the drug companies and the AMERICAN DENTAL ASSOCIATION, both of whom put Mercury in their products that eventually end up in your body.

    Dental Amalgam fillings and Drug Company vaccines

    the only thing more hazardous to your health than Mercury, is the ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

    This made me want to play with mercury :)

    Don't touch it, don't eat it, and for the LOVE OF GOD DON'T THROW AWAY OR BREAK CFLS!!!

    Also out of curiosity, how many tax dollars were used to create the video? Looks really cool!

    Thiomersal (contains mercury iii) is a preservative used for vaccines. It is in trace amount, however you're advised to be cautious when getting your inoculations. I wouldn't suggest getting more than 1 at a time in an 18 month period. It causes fatigue and respiratory damage. It also has similar effects to lead poisoning. It replaces iron in your body and blocks off oxygen to the neurons.

    The form existing in thermometers is at a level which several molecules will kill you.
