In layman's terms, if two highly energetic substances release their energy in combining together, you end up with something very stable. That doesn't apply to mercury: heavy metals are dangerous to health in any chemical form, so that's not the reason Carrey's wrong.

Carrey's wrong because heavy metals are cumulative poisons. A tiny one-off dose has negligible impact. It's things like breathing lead or mercury fumes regularly for years that has bad health effects.
