(had an idea while listening to a remix of toxic by britney spears while also trying out something different and tbh it was pretty fun drawing this i also recorded a video of the process so)

Atmospheric Mercury Emissions Have Steeply Reduced in the Last Decade According to Mt. Everest Samples

Four decades of measuring atmospheric mercury on Mt. Everest show that concentration of mercury in the atmosphere peaked in 2002 and has declined around 70% between 2002 and 2020.

This indicates that overall human emissions of mercury have decreased steeply, which is extremely good news given the many damaging health effects of mercury exposure to both the environment and human health.

Sadly, tetanus is not transmissible between humans, so you cannot use this opportunity to advance our cause. The horrid vaccine will even work if you get it after the spores are already in your body!

If you're already showing symptoms, you can seek medical care. Pack a bag because you're going to be in the hospital for weeks to months 😊 If you're lucky they can manage your extremely painful muscle spasms with antitoxin and sedatives, and halt the spore growth with wound debridement and antibiotics. If your muscle spasms interfere with your breathing, you'll need to be on a ventilator. They might do a tracheostomy since you'll be on the ventilator for so long. You'll also need a feeding tube to get all the calories that your body will be burning through as your muscles freak out - if you've got the classic "lockjaw," you're not eating on your own! They'll keep you alone in a dark quiet room if light and sound are triggering your spasms, so don't think you'll be passing the time with entertainment.

You'll probably live. Hopefully your insurance covers physical therapy, since you'll need it to regain your muscle function!
