Liquid mercury under Mexican pyramids

Ancient Mesoamericans could produce liquid mercury by heating mercury ore, known as cinnabar, which they also used for its blood-red pigment. They then put the liquid mercury in the tomb. /thread
Mods please ban funkycat for hate speech. His use of "liquid Mexicans" as code words to describe Mexicans as "wet backs" offends me. TIA
I must now retreat to my Catpaw safe space.
When that day comes I shall futterwacken... vigorously.
Got any these symptoms:
irritability, low self-confidence, depression, apathy, shyness[4][5] and timidity, and in some extreme cases with prolonged exposure to mercury vapors, delirium, personality changes and memory loss occur as a result. People with erethism find it difficult to interact socially with others, with behaviors similar to that of a social phobia. Although most of the effects of erethism are neurological, some physical problems arise as well, including a decrease in physical strength, “headaches, general pain, and tremors after exposure to metallic mercury”[6] as well as irregular heartbeat. It has been documented that “the tremor in the hands can be so severe that the victim is unable to hold a glass of water without spilling its contents.”
You used to be much more..."muchier." You've lost your muchness.
