ABSTRACT
Injecting mercury for suicidal purposes is very uncommon and only a few cases have been reported. Here, we present an unusual case of injection of elementalmercury into the hand by a 27-year-old male leading to cellulitis. The need for debridement and chelation therapy based on the measured blood and urine mercury levels has been discussed.
