Ruby, close - believe it or not, v large amounts of urine were used to fix the felt in hat-making, and it was mercury in the urine (prescribed as a 'drug' to treat venereal diseases) that caused madness in three workers who were around, and even working with, the large vats of pee!

I had a babysitter once that let my baby girl suck on the broken end of a GLASS thermometer. I could have killed her. (the sitter)

Miss the old mercury thermometers. They may have been fragile an toxic, but they were much faster and more accurate than the new replacement thermometers.

Jenn Natalia , Gallium is typically only liquid above 29C, though the mostly Gallium alloy Galinstan melts at -19C!

I broke a thermometer when I was young. My mom screamed at me not to touch the mercury.

batman25/1, Yeah, teachers used to let us play with the stuff, not realising that it could be absorbed through the skin and cause heavy metal poisoning.
