@Acid. None taken.
Anyway, on the mercry compund. Let's make a comparison. Sodium is a metal explosive in contact with water and Chlorine is a toxic gas that is also highly flammable. Their compound "Sodium Chloride" is a treacherous substance that can be found in almost every household, and sea water has ALARMING levels of it. Animal tests with slugs have shown Sodium Chloride to be highly lethal. Yet, the US, Germany, China, India and Canada produce it by TONNES, for various purposes all of which we might not even know of.
Those of you who passed high school chemistry might be smirking now.
Those of you who don't, are probably forwarding the above text to everyone in your email contacts.
