What symptom does thermometer poison have?

As we all know, the thermometer we use to measure body temperature is made of mercury. That is what we call liquefied mercury. Once the thermometer is broken and evaporated, it can make a space of 15 square meters, and the mercury content per square meter is as high as 22.2 mg. Within two hours, the respiratory tract and lung tissue will be damaged, and even die of respiratory failure.

Once Mercury enters the organism, it can accumulate in the organism and be easily absorbed by the skin, respiratory tract and digestive tract. Mercury damages the central nervous system and has adverse effects on the mouth, mucous membrane and teeth. Long term exposure to high mercury can lead to brain injury and death.

Mercury is what we call mercury. Generally, liquefied mercury is not harmful to human body. Even if it is touched by people, as long as it is cleaned in time, there is no harm, but if it accidentally flows into the body or the gas produced by mercury, it will threaten our life and health.
