I have a wooden drawer that seemed to have some dark purple liquid in it ( junk drawer has a lot of stuff in it ). While reaching for something my hand got some purple liquid on it. I looked in the drawer and the packaging of a lithium small battery is deep purple / burgundy. I cleaned the drawer with Lysol and it stained the wood. I recycled it and now am concerned because of ?? Gasses from it ? Or the residue which is in the wood ? Anything it touched ? Thoughts ?

A read that a 76 year old woman had contact with the chemicals from a lithium battery and she was unable to get pregnant after.
In quantity some of the chemicals can be harmful. I doubt a single button cell would do anything. If you have concerns about the ones in the wood, seal them in with paint or lacquer, shellac, etc.
A little lithium will fix what ails you.

Appears to be more concern with environmental impact of all the other metals involved:

I like the clips from 'Metropolis'. Lang always gets mentioned but the author of the book from which it came and the screenplay, Thea von Harbou, seldom gets mentioned.
