How much mercury to kill a dog?

[JohnnyJones]

Nothing sinister I'm afraid!

The O/H dropped a glass thermometer in the kitchen this morning. The mercury came out in tiny droplets on the kitchen floor. I brushed up what I could see, but the drops are so tiny I am worried I may have missed some. What if my dog licks something up and there's a little drop I missed there?

Anyone know?

Ho ho ho at some of the posts, why air the room?

Does it give off vapours or something?

The dog seems fine so far, much more placid than the O/H who is ill and can't take her temperature!

I have a Demon Tweeks temp infra red zapper for the cars but she won't let me use it on her!

I found that sweeping it into a dustpan worked, then it all collected in the bottom of the pan so I could estimate how much I'd got of it. There couldn't have been much left on the floor.

Dog still fine!
