Talk:Dimethylmercury

message: where or how does this dimethyl mercury originate or form?
:I think it may be formed only artificially. However, I believe methyl mercury is the result of bacterial metabolism or other interaction with elemental mercury; perhaps dimethyly Hg is also formed in this way.--Jrm2007 (talk) 04:28, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

message: Where is it produced and what are its usages?
I've heard it described used in the new long life light bulbs. is that a fact?
No, that's just metallic (elemental) Mercury, which while toxic, is much less toxic than Dimethyl Mercury.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joeylawn (talk • contribs) 02:56, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Production and usage 

message: From what I can gather, this is not a naturally occurring chemical, meaning it (at one point) had to be manufactured or invented in a lab somewhere. So my question is..why in God's name would anyone make something like this? What was this chemical's intended purpose, or was it created by accident? It seems to be a perfect killer in almost every single way.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.20.213.134 (talk) 00:47, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

message: "Dimethylmercury passes through latex, PVC, butyl, and neoprene within seconds, and is very quickly absorbed through the skin. Much safety equipment used to prevent exposure to other chemicals does not provide protection from dimethylmercury."
No citation is given for the above quote. http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199806043382305 , Delayed Cerebellar Disease and Death after Accidental Exposure to Dimethylmercury, linked from the article on Karen Wetterhahn, recommends using neoprene gloves as a layer of protection.
