Technically they’re amalgams with silver or other metals. Different properties and such.

Lick mercury? Plenty of people carry lumps of it right in their teeth, 24/7.

I responded similarly when I saw this posted before. Yes, mercury can be very toxic if it gets into your blood, but the chances of that happening from a lick are astonishingly small.
