If skin comes into contact with Mercury, immediately wash the affected area with soap and plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and jewelry, and seek medical attention to assess for potential mercury exposure or poisoning. Avoid using any ointments or creams before cleaning the area, as they can trap mercury against the skin. Always follow local guidelines or consult a healthcare professional for further advice.
