47. Check your math. You have to drink 1000 liters of borderline toxic water to get 2 mg of mercury.

You would have to drink over 3 gallons of borderline toxic water to receive the mercury equivalent of a single flu shot that is injected straight into your body.

Do you think it would be a good idea to drink 3 gallons of borderline mercury-toxic water in one minute if you could somehow avoid it?

How about chugging one gallon of water that is more than 3 times over the EPA's limit for mercury. Are you up for that today?
