Remember the little black pills you got at the fireworks stand? You know the ones that you lit and it turned into a black coal snake. Well those were made from Mercury(II) Thiocyanate. Only problem is it put off Mercury vapor when you burned it. So now they make them with a safer sodium product. This is a video of Mercury(II) Thiocyanate being burned in it's powdered form. Pretty fuckin cool!

How much of that crap did I breathe every July Fourth as a kid? how much merthiolate was splashed on my cuts? And I'm not fucked up as a result...
Well, not too awful much anyway...
