   I wouldn’t take a chance on it. If you are questioning it, then u probably shouldnt endanger your guest or yourself for this holiday season. Noone wants to be in the emergency room during this festive holiday time. There is a solution. Go and purchase another bird. This time it will be better than the first!!

   Mercury is a poisonous element. I’ve can’t recall seeing any type of mercury supplement on any health store shelf. I don’t even know if our body contains mercury. I know it is a gas. It’s not anything that can’t be quickly resolved.

   I don’t think it’s safe…mercury can seriously f*** you up at high levels. Maybe see if your local supermarket is still selling ready-made turkeys?

   Why trust the answer that you get from a stranger, when you could have an expert answer your Turkey questions correctly.
   Call 1-800-288-8372 The Butterball Turkey Hot Line.
   Happy Holidays!

   ADD ON: Get the opinion from the above experts before you chuck the bird. Because if the pop up timers were poisonous, then the FDA would not allow them to be used. But again, call the experts.
