Let me up the stakes to the highest levels of the aristocracy.

Maybe Steve should become King Steve?

And old use for mercury was in curing King's evil or scrofula. The King was meant to be able to touch people and cure them ... it was then found that the mercury that was being prescribed for the syphilis also cured scrofula.

So, my case is that Steve will now have absorbed so much mercury, that just to touch him will cure you of scrofula.

Ergo, King Steve.

Sorry, it's been a stressful day arguing energy politics!
