I was at school today. I was walking down the staires. There was a a shiny spot on the floor. Maybe a meal piece or something. I was in a hurry I didn't stop to see it. When I was running, i think my shoe laces touched that shiny thing.

1) If that shiny thing was liquid mercury, would it have absorbed into my shoe laces? Should I throw out my shoes?

2) When I went to class, I tied my shoe laces and then touched my binders and school bag.
I know I should have washed my hands, is my school supplies bad as well?

3) Can mercury transfer by touching? Thanks very much!!

ANyone who can help me I will really apreciate it. I have to do homework now and I'm worried sick that I didn't start doing my homework yet. Please help me.
