I don't know how it is for all of you with your spouses, but this has been really difficult. Poison control said the chances of there being any significant problems are really low, but I can contact a remediation company to have them test. So I did contact one who would charge me $750 for the testing and said it is really important to test because over time the vapors may have been released into the air and during cleanup mercury may have spread elsewhere. So I spoke to my husband who got really angry at me - he thinks I am overrreacting and should not have even asked. We have a friend who works for EOHSI and validated that it is important to test because the thermometer was broken in the room so long. He suggested we get a home testing kit and suggested we get something called mercsorb first to assist with cleanup (it's a powder that binds the mercury before we wipe it away). He will give us the name of the home testing kit after he speaks with his colleagues. He agreed that all of my symptoms sound mercury related, another reason to test. He is friends with my husband and spoke to him too, but my husband is still angry at me for making such a big deal of this. He rationalizes everything and was discussing what percentage of mercury could have possibly vaporized and how I'm only in the bedroom at night so how much of a problem could it be. Even with his friend telling him, we don't know how much of a problem it can cause, but it can cause a problem for some people he makes it difficult.

So we will be doing the home test to see where we are at. Thanks for listening to me vent - it has been a long day!
