From what I could find organomercury compounds are a lot more bioavalable and penetrates into places in the body that elemental mercury wouldn’t, for instance, the brain. It will not only penetrate the skin, it will also penetrate gloves.Also high toxicity, methylmercury has an LD50 of 20 mg/kg for certain monkeys for acute toxicity. But a single drop can kill you from prolonged mercury poisoning because it just stays in the body. But honestly dying would be better than surviving it.
