What is the correct way to deal with a broken mercury thermometer?

Question 1: Is it okay if the mercury thermometer breaks when I put it on the bed? There are children sleeping in the bed at home, and it seems that only the front part is broken. What should I do? Dr. Cui Lixia’s answer: If the mercury comes out, it needs to be cleaned up as soon as possible. Pick up the child and change the bed sheet and quilt cover. Be careful not to scatter the mercury on the ground. Just remove the bed sheet and quilt cover and shake the mercury into a plastic bag and seal it. If the mercury has been spilled on the ground, , do not use a vacuum cleaner, do not use a broom, put on latex gloves and use a cardboard or dropper to collect it and seal it in a bag to avoid contact. Be careful not to let children accidentally eat or touch the wound parts of the human body, and open windows for ventilation.
