So for the sake of sharing information with others, i read atleast one online news item about a Nevada school which had to be decontaminated after a pupil brought a quarter cup of mercury to school for playing. The authorities went as far as visiting each students house to decontaminate and the entire thing cost them a 100 million dollars. Now i understand quarter cup is much more than what a thermometer contains but still, mercury in any amount outta be a serious issue. Interesting response i got from the doctor at Hammad, he remembered playing with mercury himself as a child and wondered if i could remember something like that from my childhood! and he simply laughed it off... Lolz what can one say! MRST, maybe you know this doc hehe
ooops, truncated comment.
