I just made this account in order to post a coment under the video itself, since most ppl view it directly from the emmbeded player and not trough youtube.com directly and most ppl just miss the comments already posted there

See you later!

Well. Fist of all I'm the owner of the video, and yes, I own the mercury and I have it here in my room.

As for mercury vapour, yes, inhalation of this is the most dangerous thing, ingestion is not quite as dangerous since body cannot digest it, and skin contact is the least of the dangers, because of its density mercury can't be absorbed by the skin.

As for the zippo coments, well, there's no problem since the surface tension and density is so high it wont go inside of the lighter itself (it would be different if it was submerged, since the high presure it generates will force it's way inside.

No, i'm not Portuguese, I'm from Mexico.

I've had this bottle of mercury for years now, and no, i don't leave it open (or just laying in the box as in the video) all the time. It had been years since I last opened the bottle to mess around and I decided to record it to avoid doing it again.

And I am aware that small droplets might be spilled around some places, but the quantity of vapour they might produce until they dissapear is extremely low.

Mostly, people that get poisoned by mercury get this because of chronical exposure, this means large quantities of mercury that produce large quantities of vapour and ppl are exposed to it for years. Sure it would be dangerous to spill the whole bottle in the floor, or in a piece of furniture, since it's a lot of mercury, but no, I repeat to you it is on a sealed bottle.

One cool thing about mercury is that if you blow your breath into it it will get misty, just as if you were doing it to a mirror, next time you have the chance to play with mercury (even a small drop) try it

Thanks for watching anyway!

You're all welcome to see this other video I made documenting surface vibrations of that same mercury being exposed to low frecuencies... kinda cool...

I almost forgot, here's another demo showing frozen Mercury, (at least freezing it wont produce as much vapour) First a small dropp gets frozen, then a larger amount is frozen. Hope u like it.
