If women used mercury to cure syphillis during the 1940's...?

Here is an page out of The Encyclopedia of Sexual Knowledge by A. Costler and A. Willy, both MD's. Page 489 says, "That taking mercury to cure your syphilis will not hurt you, since, they say, mercury is eliminated by the kidneys and not one particle remains in the organism". If this is true then couldn't a woman use said mercury to poison a man during intercourse? Surely mercury up a man's penis would do irreversible damage! Is this yet another example throughout history of how women are killing through the use of poison?

i know this theory isnt on wikipedia, but believe it or not everything known to man isnt!

i'm talking about a woman sticking the mercury up her vagina. the article says that the kidneys will cleanse the woman.

Let's for a moment pretend to stipulate that mercury can cure syphilis. (Which I don't believe.)

So you cure your syphilis with mercury. And than you quickly die of mercury poisoning.

Everything else you wrote is incoherent, misogynistic ranting. Crawl back into your hole, ok? Or maybe head on back to the 1940s, which was the last decade anything like this was acceptable by anyone.

Mercury is poisonous...which we do know now. Science sure has come a long way!

There is a chance women poisoned men with mercury, but they also poisoned themselves. Also, just like stds, it's more difficult for a woman to transfer something to a man (sexually)...so women may not have always given the man the mercury which she had in her blood stream.

Mercury is extremely toxic and will do irreversible damage to your body

Mercury was prescribed by doctors to treat syphillis in males and females. It is toxic and didn't really cure the disease. A man having intercourse with a woman being treated for syphillis had plenty to worry about besides being poisoned. And I am sure that any woman who wanted to poison a man could have found a more efficient way to do it.
