Thanks for the information Jill. I did not follow the advice of the dentist to vacuum the mercury. My husband followed EPA recommendations as he cleaned it up. I do feel that I most likely got worse because I was unaware the broken thermometer was in the room for some time.

My husband does not want to measure for mercury in the air left. We were advised by someone in charge of mercury environmental cleanup from EOHSI that the problem should be resolved because we engaged in proper cleanup. I am not sleeping in that room any longer, however, just in case. I wanted to measure the air but my stubborn husband thinks I am overreacting and as you can see is not the most supportive when it comes to the mercury stuff. I may get a vapor analyzer myself at some time in the near future withyout him knowing it. We will see. I am going to have a hair analysis done this week to see where I stand with the mercury in my body. I had a significant problem on the hair analysis done in 2001 which showed me to have 7 times the level of mercury than a woman my age should have (I was not even living in this house). I am curious to see what it shows now.

Thanks again for the info.
