liquid mercury, as far as toxic metals go, is actually mostly inert; it's a noble metal that mostly doesn't react to acids or organic molecules. Your body has no way of actually digesting liquid mercury, and the gastrointestinal system can't absorb something that chemically dense. Less than 0.01% of a given sample would find its way into your blood stream, which is nothing compared to the danger of ingesting mercury fumes (~80% absorption rate through the lungs) or even mercury processed into organic compounds (95%+ absorption rate); in a surprising number of cases, you'll get more bloodstream mercury from eating a fish from a lake with mercury exposure than from consuming a few tablespoons of elemental mercury raw.
