Mercury poisoning (also known as mercurialism, hydrargyria, Hunter-Russell syndrome, or acrodynia when affecting children) is a disease caused by exposure to mercury or its toxic compounds.

Mercury is poisonous, and you could get intoxicated by touching it or breathing in its vapours. Toxic effects include damage to the brain, kidney, and lungs. Mercury poisoning can result in several diseases, including Acrodynia (pink disease), Hunter-Russell Syndrome, and Minamata disease. It is also very bad for the environment, and for these reasons they have ceased using it to make many products such as thermometers and fluorescent lamps in case of a spill/leak or accident.

Well, someone would need to ingest a large amount or inhale an ever larger amount of Hg to face serious and immediate risk of death. The mercury that is inside a thermometer is the pure metal, which is not the most toxic form of Hg. Someone could probably get killed by contact with organic forms of mercury, such as methylmercury or phenylmercury, which are much more toxic.
