I noticed a few days ago my fluorescent lightbulb was acting stupid and kept flickering on and off. I thought it was my lamp at first so i kept using it because sometimes the lightbulb would work and stay on. Usually it keeps flickering and then turns off. Is this light bulb broken and do i have a chance of mercury vapor poisoning?
 
Try turning the tube in the socket. Sometimes it's just a bad connection. If the condition continues replace the tube with a new one. There is no mercury in a fluorescent tube.
