Mercury is also safe to hold in your hands lmao. The danger came from when it got dropped because it would scatter and get hidden, and it evaporates relatively quickly and persists in the air. So everybody was getting mercury poisoning from inhaling it. It likes to break apart into cubic millimeters, and a single cubic mm onky takes about 5 hours to evaporate, so if its scatters then you can get a lot in the air in a short period of time. If that stuff absorbed through the skin, most of our parents/grandparents wouldn't have lived long enough for us to be born. Mercury gets absorbed into fatty tissues, so chronic exposure basically just gradually destroys your nervous system.
Yeah this, liquid metallic mercury is relatively safe to hold in your hands, what you don't want to handle is organic forms of mercury, that stuff can get toxic af and can be absorbed through the skin. With metallic mercury, as you said the real danger is mercury vapours.
The danger of metallic mercury also comes if you have an open wound on your hand so ideally make sure your hand is scratch free or wear gloves when handling metallic mercury. Organic mercury on the other hand, probably not the best idea to mess with it.
When I first saw mercury in college I wanted to make a mercury fountain to see it perpetually flowing. Seems like that could be accomplished with this compound

Note mercury is also perfectly safe to hold in your hand too. Mercury cannot be absorbed through your skin at all. The only ways to have problems with Mercury is to take it internally. You could in fact submerge most of your body in mercury without issue. The challenge comes because sometimes it likes to leave small bits behind and people put their hands in their eyes, nose, mouths, etc. Of course cleaning one’s skin with a good scrubbing will eliminate this risk. You can also inhale mercury vapor, and that is quite bad, but unless you heat it up that is not going to happen.
Even if you were to drink a glass of pure, elemental Mercury the actual harm would typically be minimal since it is not readily absorbed by the digestive tract. The problem is primarily with inhaling mercury vapors and direct contact with organic/inorganic mercury compounds that can be absorbed or which are capable of being transported across internal membranes. Methylmercury is extremely toxic and even an apparently tiny exposure can be lethal.
@@jnharton I'm imagining drinking a glass of mercury now, and that sounds horrible well beyond any associated health concerns with absorption. Given the density, the weight going down and being in your stomach would be an awful feeling.

To be precise, as long you have no wounds, holding mercury in your hands is by itself save too, its the mercury fumes that are very problematic. So in a controlled environment with a gas mask .. etc.
