I'm not a chemist, but mercury something-cyanide doesn't sound good. "Move away from the smoke" is probably good advice. "Don't screw with that" might be better.

they sell fireworks-well they're not really fireworks but they sell them at firework stands-that do the same thing they're called "magic snakes"-they look like little black pills but when you light them on fire they do the same thing-just not as much as this stuff which im sure is some kind of carcinogen

I used to make this stuff when I was a kid, but chemistry sets back then had some nasty stuff in them.

Today you could mix all the chemicals together, eat it, and survive.

This stuff releases mercury vapor when burning. Nice effect but not a toy.

This is incorrectly named (what on glumbert?), it's called Mercury(II) thiocyanate or simply Hg(SCN)2. The good old fashioned snakes you used to get as a kid. Unfortunately the will poison the bejeezus out of you with their off gassing of mercury vapor (I guess the Bug already mentioned that) but what was not mentioned (and someone ought to tell these youngsters) is what it does to you, so I will.....

Exposure to mercury and it's vapors may result in weakness, fatigue, anorexia, weight loss, and disturbance of gastrointestinal function. A tremor may develop beginning with the fingers, eyelids, and lips which may progress to generalized trembling of the entire body and violent chronic spasms of the extremities. Parallel with development of the tremors, behavioral and personality changes may develop including increased excitability, memory loss, insomnia, and depression. The skin may exhibit abnormal blushing, dermographia, excessive sweating and irregular macular rashes. Severe salivation and gingivitis is also characteristic of chronic toxicity. Chronic mercury exposure is characterized by apathy, anorexia, flush, fever, a nephrotic syndrome with albuminuria and generalized edema, diaphoresis, photophobia, insomnia and a pruritic and sometimes painful scaling or peeling of the skin of the hands and feet with bullous lesions.

Just makes you want to get some doesn't it!

Mercury based chemicals were used to make felt hats, this is where the phrase "mad as a hatter" comes from.

No Frogman, I just know this shit off the top of my head! LOL actually It was a lame attempt at humor, in reference to the obnoxious internet moron list someone posted (can't remember which #).
Guess it flew over some heads...oh well.

What a coincidence, I experience the same symptoms when interacting with certain members on Glumbert.

You can never have too many bulbous lesions though!

When I was in high school I watched some dimwitted classmates pour about a pound of mercury out a second story window to watch it splatter on the sidewalk, near one of the exits.

I never used that exit again.

Pod, back (way back) when I was in high school, during the summer we used to go raid the dumpster at the U of M science lab, oh man the cool stuff we found, anyway I found a sealed flask of mercury, about the size of a softball. I took it home busted it open in my room and had hours of fun knocking the stuff all over the hardwood floor till it seemingly vanished. Now I know why I have...apathy, anorexia, flush, fever, a nephrotic syndrome with albuminuria and generalized edema, diaphoresis, photophobia, insomnia and a pruritic and sometimes painful scaling or peeling of the skin of the hands and feet with bullous lesions.

I used to break vacuum tubes in old TV sets and collect the mercury together and play with the stuff, until my parents caught me and told me how dangerous the stuff was. I bet I lowered my IQ about 30 points right there, which explains

Oh! where am I?

The CRT is a vacuum tube, not a mercury vapor tube. You must havebroken lots of TV tubes to get any mercury...

Fluorescent lamps usually have mercury in them, the old ones had a lot, today it is just a couple milligrams.

In jr high (1950s) we had mercury in class and we all shined our money with it, rubbing by hand. Pair that with sticking your feet in a x-ray machine at the shoe store, it's a wonder we're not all on the short bus.
