Hi, I broke yesterday my mercury thermometer in my bedroom. I found few silver balls on bed and floor. I took them by carton paper and put it in plastic bag. I opened the window for fresh air but I'm very scary and panic now because I found out on internet its very dangerous.

Please help me I can't take my breath now. What should I do? Sorry for my English, its not my native language. I'm worried I breath that mercury toxin because I was staying in the room for 1 hour looking for the silver balls and after finished cleaning I opened window for few hours. Any risk? Thanks for answer.

You'll be OK. You can close the windows, breathe, sleep on clean sheets.

You can relax. That little bit of mercury won't cause any damage.
