Mercury toxicity refers to the health hazards of mercury, the liquid metal used in dental fillings and glass thermometers. It is also used in trace amounts as a vaccine preservative (see Thiomersal). Large amounts, as were dumped in a Japanese harbor (Minamata Bay) for three decades (dozens died), will get into fish and poison people.
