Thank you for your feedback. My husband cleaned it last night. We looked up what to do on the EPA website and he cleaned the room. He used masking tape to get the mercury off of the shelf. It beaded into smaller beads he said, and it took him a while. No one slept in the room. I slept downstairs but my son was sleeping in the next room. The window was open to the room and the door was shut. I think I'm going to call OESHI today to find out how I can test it to be sure. On the website they said that they used to test mercury from thermometers on a regular basis but it did not usually become airborne so they stopped and just direct families how to clean it. The only issue with this is that it has been broken for G-d knows how long and I don't know if when it became hot in the room (from heat and hot weather - there is no direct air conditioning in that room) if some of it could have vaporized. My husband is already annoyed at me that I am making a big deal about this (he told me yesterday he thinks its ridiculous for me to have my amalgams out because his dentist said they are perfectly safe - and then told me that I never listen to rationale drs) - so this was the aftermath of a tough day with this.

Russ, I might need a number to rent a vapor machine. If so, I will post again today. Thank you. I am so upset about this.

I also have a hair test here. Do you think I should do the hair test to see what comes up? Or should I do some other test to see where I am at? I did have a blood test a few months back that came back negative (without a chelator push) but did come out with 7 times the level of mercury I should have on hair, and urine test (after a chelator push) 7 years ago. Mercury did show up in my blood then.



Thanks
