Question:

Ok I transferred my mercury stash to a air tight sealed plastic tube. Is this safe?

Also if this isn't safe then how unsafe was it when some kid spilled a whole container of mercury on the floor in my class and started playing with it. Ya anyway i would never touch it.

Answer:

Your Hg is safe in the tube and MUCH safer than some kid plating with it with his fingers. The expression Mad as a Hatter comes from olden days when the felt on hats was applied with a mercury paste by workers using their hands
