Re: The CFL mercury nightmare

I know mercury is highly toxic, (cf the Minamata disaster) but I think there is an over reaction. When I was a kid at school we used to play with mercury and hold it in our hands. We even had mercuric chloride in the chemistry lab and there was not one case of any reaction.

NB. This message has been sent from the Cheltenham Foundation for the Criminally Insane.
