A few drops spilled in the corner of the room where you work will
evaporate slowly and be accumulated in your system, causing mercury
poisoning.

Removal of ALL spilled mercury is NECESSARY and requires careful clean
up because it likes to break up into extremely small droplets and they
can splash long distances.

Hm... According to your theory I should have been dead
already 5 times over.
I have to disappoint you, still alive(67) and going strong.


Depends on the ventilation in the area where you work and the amount of
time you spend there.

Also, you are unlikely to die of chronic mercury poisoning.

Do you have any of these symptoms?
