Contact with the metal Mercury will affect not just the skin but potentially your entire body. Mercury is poisonous but its effects don't show up immediately. It tends to accumulate in tissues with each exposure, damaging the nervous system and brain over time. In women, it can cause birth defects in their children.
If caught early enough there are treatments that can purge most of the metal from your body but if not the damage can be permanent.
Bottom line, DON'T GET MERCURY ON YOU OR IN YOU.
