What happen when you vaporize it? You get metallic air or something?

@drewnickel thanks for the info

[ManDudeYeah]

@Sauron767 Not a good idea. At all.

[drewnickel]

@Sauron767 what kind of a question is that, get some brains and realize what mercury is, it's a powerful toxin, in small ammounts it's probably not gonna kill you but if your exposed to it too much it'll kill you, it's fumes are highly toxic and can cause lung cancer, or nerve damage. dont ever touch it because it is extremely dangerous, look up mad hatter syndrom, it makes you develop twitches and shakes, then over longer exposure causes you to go insane and will eventually fry your brain

[Sauron767]

can you touch it with your bare hands?
