Comment on Chemists of Lemmy, how accurate is this likability table?

  Well, when you lick mercury, you’re actually going to swallow a lot of it. Thankfully, you’ll poop most of it out, and as long as you do it once, it won’t kill you.

  But if I had to pick between licking lead or mercury, I’d go with lead.

    Oh yeah. I am om team lead. The problem with Mercury is the vapor that ridiculously easy methylates when heated, and then you have a nerve toxin that quite easily crosses the blood-brain barrier.
