When my 1st child was about 2 or 3, (30 years ago), he bit and broke a glass thermometer that a doctor had given him. The doctor said... "Don't worry, it's a safe type of Mercury!!". I know now that is CRAP!! We don't know how much he ingested, but I would hope that most of it would pass through, unlike deadly heated vapours !!! |

They should have put it up his arse: much safer! My concern would be him breathing in the mercury vapour released from his stomach, when he burped. |

During my check-up I asked my doctor, "Do you think I'll live a long and healthy live?" He replied, "I doubt it. Mercury is in Uranus right now" I said, "I don't believe in any of that astrology bullshit doc" "Neither do I. My thermometer just broke" |

first thing you need to do is panic so you rake up useless medical bills. because I am like gonna guarantee you, the guys assembling it are not as careful as you think. But it is wise to do proper disposal and shit if you are at work because its some crazy lawyer shit that can get activated. Consider old time miners. It took a while of really really unsafe and crazy procedures before they started getting ill. Like burning rocks for days. |
