I was wondering if this red liquid could be mercury...

Are there any potential health hazards to my family?
 
Almost every thermometer sold for home use has alcohol inside, and this one is no different. The alcohol will evaporate, the red dye can be cleaned up with soap and water, and the glass can be swept up or vacuumed. The biggest hazard from this is getting a cut from the broken glass.
