How much would you say that exercise is worth?
My family was discussing the place with the highest incidence of autism, which was an old mining area, and my aunt said that when it rained, mercury from tailings flowed into water sources. I remembered a documentary of some third-world country where they scooped gravel into a pan, added mercury, worked out the gravel, and the mercury bonded to the gold.
They torched the mixture and only the gold was left.
Please tell me that you do not torch mercury!
