Is there a chance of Mercury poisoning? Yes, but it is a very, very, very small chance (so small it is barely worth mentioning). Wash the cut with a little soap and water and you should be just fine.

Why is it poisonous for us to breathe in oxygen only?

If you breath 100% Oxygen, it is not immediately poisonous and can be beneficial for a short time. However the human body has evolved to breath a gas mixture called air. Air is 80% Nitrogen and 20% Oxygen and if you breath a gas mixture significantly richer in Oxygen for a protracted period, then the Oxygen affects the functioning of most body systems and can lead to death. Also breathing Oxygen where the partial pressure of the Oxygen exceeds 1.2 bar, can cause acute oxygen poising resulting in convolutions. SCUBA divers need to take this into account when diving, especially on mixed gasses.
