No, this was not mercury sealed in closed containers. Loose mercury. Little kids. Humans behave in odd ways, also. The stuff has been known to be hazardous for I think the last couple of centuries; I think what has changed is ideas as to what the hazardous dose is. -- I will say that I, like huge numbers of other people, survived all sorts of things now considered to be deadly; but that cumulative doses and combinations with other chemicals are definitely factors worth considering (I wish they were considered more thoroughly with new chemicals before release). The thermometers I have I bought in the 1970's and 80's, if I remember correctly; I don't think they came off the market till sometime in the 1990's. -- Rivka; Finger Lakes NY, Zone 5 mostly Fresh-market organic produce, small scale |
