Mercury poisoning doesn't usually happen via the skin. It usually happens through eating lots of fish for extended periods of time. Aside from that, in countries like China heavy industry workers are fairly regularly exposed through inhalation.
Mercury poisoning through the skin only really happens through using certain illegal cosmetics, and isn't as common as other types of mercury poisoning.
But eh... you seem to be completely oblivious of the fact that not all mercury compounds have the same effects. You're attacking ethylmercury, while mercury poisoning usually occurs through methylmercury. That's like attacking foods containing carbon compounds because of the toxicity of carbonmonoxide.
I guess we'll have to add chemistry to the list of things you don't understand? At least it's in good company - with math, biology and medicine already on the list.
