Just my luck. I was cleaning my bedroom tonight and I found a thermometer container on a wood shelf in my room. There was no top, olnly a bottom of the container. I picked up the thermometer and realized it was broken. I was nervous but calmly went downstairs and put it in a plastic bag. When I did, I saw a mercury bead in the bag. Then afterwards, I looked on the shelf and there was one small bead in the bag. Now, I am panicking. I have no idea how long that broken thermometer was in there - it could have been a couple of years for all I know. Could this have caused mercury vapors in the air. I know I have gotten dramatically worse recently, with my vision problems, muscle pains, memory, etc. I had high mercury levels to begin with. Could this have worsened my problems???

I feel sick inside just thinking about this. How could this have happened on top of everything else?
