I think the mercury thermometers were the old glass ones with the gray liquid

on the inside.

First, are you sure it is even a mercury thermometer?

out the entire wastebasket enclosed and tied off in a garbage back and out of

the house.

I may be wrong, but this might count as a recent exposure, and maybe the 3 month

wait will apply? Unless you want to use DMSA only.

IMO you keep chelating. This also happened to me when my boy was a baby. I

dropped it, it broke, I used a paper towel to clean it up. His bassinet was

right by that space on the kitchen linoleum for about a year afterwards until we

moved. I suppose it was a big contributor to his getting autism. Deb
