K Karen E Guest Dec 24, 2008 #2 IDK. If you are concerned call your local poison control center of the hospital and ask them.
S Stangman Guest Dec 24, 2008 #3 if you have ANY contact with mercury, you need to head to the hospital. It can get into your bloodstream by being ingested, inhaled, or touched, which is why it's so dangerous. go get checked out immediately.

R Rebecca S Guest Dec 24, 2008 #4 Probably nothing by just touching it. The concern is with children breaking the old mercury thermometers and ingesting the metal.
