I dropped a mercury thermometer on the bathroom floor, i didn't know the silver balls where the mercury, so i swept them up and they went down the sink. I didn't touch it, and i used paper towel.
Im so worried because i started googling and they say to put the mercury in a container and give it to special waste disposal people. Will i die if i touch the mercury?? Or breath it in?
There is mercury caught in the drain thingy in my sink, what should i do?? what if someone touches it if there cleaning it and they touch there mouth?
