Please help!! Just broke a lightbulb

[Guest guest]

I just broke one of those energy saving lightbulbs---I know I shouldn't have

them in my home, but I had it in the closet because I wasn't sure how to recycle

them. I am so upset! I wiped it all up with wet paper towels, then used soap

and water on the area. That was probably wrong, but I freaked out---my kids

were right there. Please let me know what to do!

I just googled it and found this info:

I hope this was the right thing to do. Anyone have any other comments?

Thanks,

Laurie

Look in the files section, there is a PDF called Hg_Cleanup-Nov03.pdf with

instructions on how to clean up as safely as possible.

Good luck,

I would just up your vitamin c, e(whatever antioxidants you have.) give every

few hours. I believe it is a very low dose. It has happened here as well.

Make sure the bag is outside the house. I think you handled it fine. You

should never vaccum the remains.
