Accidentally got a good size drop of .1M Mercury (I) Nitrate in my mouth during chem lab. It got on my glove and then I wiped my mouth without thinking.
How fucked am I?

The origin of the phrase, it's believed, is thathattersreally did go mad. The chemicals used inhat-making includedmercurous nitrate, used in curing felt. Prolonged exposure to themercuryvapors causedmercurypoisoning.

you have been blessed with a sacred gift, and a wretched curse
the future of humanity rests on your silver shoulders OP, i can only hope you are up to the responsibility

Please call poison control in your area. If that stuff gets absorbed into your kidneys you are fucked. I would suggest going to the hospital and don't even bother getting tested, also tell them that it was an inorganic form of mercury so they don't induce vomiting.

Vapor is toxic, liquid itself isn't. Was used as a laxative in the past. Go to a doctor though, can never be too careful.
Colton Scott
Holy shit, nitrate. THAT IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THING
Wyatt Diaz
Please don't spread misinformation. This is an inorganic form of mercury. If he really did ingest it it will mess with his intestinal tract and kidneys.

Now that I think about it it was after I added HCl to it so it was HgCl, since I spilled it while carrying it to the centrifuge.
Alexander Cox
look on the bright side OP, it wasn't dimethylmercury.

Luis Phillips
That's probably something you want to talk to your lab instructor about.
William Lee
Not OP but I do postgrad research at my university and I accidentally got a drop of dimethylmercury on my arm during an experiment
It went through my coat but I didnt want to tell anyone because I didnt want people to think Im clumsy, im starting to have a little headache and im getting paranoid, what do?
Owen Harris
I don't have any of those symptoms.
