About a couple of months ago, a Mercury thermometer broke as it fell from my mouth, hit the side of my bed and onto the floor. I found Mercury beads on the side of the bed and cleared them on a newspaper, put them in plastic and disposed them off. I opened the windows that night. I have been sleeping in the room since then. Do I need to do something else?
