The use of mercury in thermometers dates back hundreds of years. It was widely used because it reliably expands and contracts with changes in temperatures. It is highly poisonous, however, and can enter the body through the respiratory or digestive tracts, or directly through the skin.
1 Mercury is a liquid similar to Ant, because powders can lay on its surface and will not sink. 2  However, mercury does so because it is more dense, while ant does so because ant and powder are of the same density. 3  Mercury is the same color in BG-Grey as in the other backgrounds. This makes a mercury thermometer impossible in Powder Game unless clone and wind were involved. 2  In-game mercury does not freeze. 3  This could, however, be possible due to the lowest possible temperature being at about 0Â°C (indicated by ice), while the freezing point of mercury is near -39Â°C.
