What happens when we touch mercury?

on touching mercury, one feels its smoothness. Though it a liquid metal yet one does feel it liquid like because ontouching it hard it breaks into spherical drops but does not flow like liquids flow. Mercury should not be swallowed.

 it feels funny, actually it feels kinda nice but u must know that mercury shud be handled with caution! its poisonous so u hold some in ur hand u bettter wash hands very well and i wouldnt recommend u really touch!! 

its not as harmful as people exaggerate so dont worry u will definately not die if u touch it or nething! 

and it doesnt get absorbed in the skin easily!! 

also it feels really heavy in ur hand!! 

a problem with handling mercury is that it keeps giving of mercury vapours and very long exposures can be of very little harm to you!! so if u just touch mercury it feels coldish and doesnt stick to you making it feel funny!! 

when u take ur hand from mercury 99% of it gets pulled out since mercury mercury forces are too strong and they pull out all mercury with it! 

so just touch it if u want.........dont play with it WASH UR hands 
properly! and don't dare to taste it ...it may be the last thing u do!!
