  • Not very smart

    ********WARNING WARNING WARNING*******
    The Mercury vapor that comes off this stuff is HIGHLY TOXIC. Mercury Vapor is dangerous at 2ng. This stuff is putting out massive amounts. Anyone who lets children near this is putting their childs health at great risk.
    DON'T PLAY WITH CHEMICALS YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.
    The adults in the background are, at least very foolish.

    Mercury(II) thiocyanate (Hg(SCN)2) is a chemical compound. It was formerly used in pyrotechnics for the long snake-like ash Pharaoh's serpent that forms when a pellet of this compound, often with a small amount of a sugar such as glucose added to serve as supplemental fuel, is ignited. This is extremely dangerous because it produces poisonous mercury vapors.
