1. Is there any vital and obvious connection at all between mercury and charchoal? The only thing that I found is that the planet Mercury has charchoal color. But what about the elemenst? I heard it said that charchoal is the only substance that can contain mercury and the substance that is used to cure people who get mercury poisoning? Is this true?
2. Is there any connection between mercury and peat or whiskey (maybe the whiskeis that are counted as "the good ones" like Laphroaig, Glenlivet, Glenfiddich etc)?
If it would be possible I would really need some reference where to look for such information.
Thanks and best regards!
