I used to play with mercury when I was a kid. It made dimes look like brand new.
Those curly compact fluorescent light bulbs that are/were all the rage as being energy efficient, and all what have ya, are loaded with mercury. Once they wear out, you can't just chuck them off to the landfill...they have to go to the "special" recycling facility. And if you happen to drop one, causing a break, you'll need a haz-mat team to come to you and clean it up. These bulbs are brought to us by the Chinese...just another way our "friends" from the far east are trying to poison us. Toxic chemicals in our pet food, toxic material in our light bulbs.
What else?
Grandma was right...it's the Chinese we should watch out for.
