Fluorescent mercury bulb blew up in my face....??

Hey so there is mercury in fluorescent lights... one fell down and blew up next to me and a cloud of white dust formed and i may have inhaled some... any thoughts on how long i have to live...? or am i good to go?

You should be alright, but you need to properly clean the area.

From the Department of Environmental Protection:
"Homeowners can safely clean up broken bulbs on their own by following careful instructions and wearing gloves, safety glasses, coveralls and respiratory protection.
First of all, never vacuum the mess. Vacuuming will only spread dust containing mercury and contaminate the vacuum.
Remove larger pieces and placing them in a secure container. Smaller pieces and dust particles can be removed using two stiff pieces of paper, a disposable broom and dustpan, duct tape or a mercury spill kit.
All items should then be placed in the secured container and brought to a local recycling facility for universal waste."

They also say that the only risk is long-term exposure. Like if you sat on the spill for a week or so.

You should be good to go after proper cleanup.

Uh, wow. I think that maybe you should be asking your doctor instead of a bunch of random people online.

this happened to me a few yrs ago...my dr said as long as the light was not on at the time it was ok...if it was on go see a dr as soon as u can...good luck !!
