Treat the area by sprinkling with " Flowers of sulfur " (which is

elemental sulfur that you can get from any pharmacy) and then wipe it up

using a paper towel while wearing rubber gloves. Then ventilate the

heck out of the area without anyone in the room. Mercury is extremely

volatile and it is the vapor phase that does the most damage.

A friend of mine's children just broke a mercury thermometer. The

mercury

is all over the computer and desk and down into her carpet. Is there

any safe

way of getting it up out of the carpet?? Also, any ideas on what kind

of

danger her children are in? She is pretty sure they played with it.

Any advice

is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!!

Shouldn't a mercury poisoning test be in order too? With kids,

hands go directly to the mouth. If that had been my children I'd

make an appt. tomorrow for a test to see what got in.

Thanks for the input. What kind of doctor would have a mercury

poisoning test? I know of a neurologist in town who is familiar with

mercury issues, would that be her best bet?

I would move kids to any other house and not let them come back

before everything is cleaned and the carpet is replaced.

Do NOT vacuum, that spreads it everywhere. Have the kids change out of those

clothes and shoes right away. Double bag them, and put them on the porch. Keep

them away from the spill area.

Reminder to everyone, take all of your mercury thermometers to the toxic waste

collection site ASAP. They all end up breaking, sooner or later, if you keep

them around the house.

Give vitamin C, several times each day, for at least a month.
