Product Description

Not too long ago, it used to be the case that you could walk into any drugstore and pick a mercury thermometer off the rack for a couple of bucks. But times have changed and mercury is now synonymous with poison, so a safety-conscious world has seen to it that those thermometers share the same historical fate as shoe fitting X-ray scopes and cocaine tonics.

But this reputation is in large part undeserved. True, mercury organometallics remain among the most feared of poisons and have caused terrible environmental damage. But uncombined in its elemental state, mercury is fairly inert which means it doesn't do much of anything. And locked up inside an ampule within a chunk of super inert acrylic resin makes it even safer.
