HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, because of the tiny amount of mercury no one would die even if this ingested accidently, there are some lethal dose for mercury poisoning without that death is not possible, neither need to worry about the mercury that is fallen in sink, because that would not be ingested by any one, hope this information helps, take care.
