A. Trying to extract five milligrams of Mercury from almost
anything is hilarious.


B. Commercial florescent lamps have been around since before WWII.
Each bulb contains upwards of 10 milligrams of Mercury. A lot of
bulbs have been put in landfills in sixty years.


Some of the 4 footers (before 1999) could have contained as much as
46.4 mg. each.
Let's just add more toxins to the environment and make sure we
cluster f*ck our future generations!


And Mercury-vapor lamps probably contain more! Point is, the lamps
have been discarded in less than EPA-approved methods for over fifty
years and no one can point to a SINGLE deleterious result. Not one.


Some FISH diets contain more Mercury than that from a florescent
bulb.


It sounds like your saying, "metals are okay to consume"! *Get a
grip...do you have off-spring?


Yes I have offspring. Quite talented offspring, really. They can see the
squirrels no one else can spot.

I also take Zinc supplements.


....and you have lead in your can...watch out for those squirrels!
