You should find a safer hobby.
 
My thoughts are that you did not perform an experiment. You mixed up your materials/chemicals with no understanding of what the results would be or how dangerous it could be. You seem to have a pattern of this bad habit as well. Heed jimdoc's advice and find a safer hobby to play in.
 
Yeah, and you contaminated your touchstone with mercury, added acid and created mercury salt that is easily absorbed through the skin. You went from a toxic metal to an extremely toxic water soluble metal salt.

Acute lethal dose is 25 mg/kg orally or 75 mg/kg via the skin.

Long term effect from low level exposure... The substance is toxic to kidneys, lungs, the nervous system, mucous membranes. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage.
