I broke a mercury thermometer! help!?

I accidentally broke a mercury thermometer, the old fashoned kind, and we didnt find all of the mercury yet. What should we do!?

call 911 immediatly and leave the area, tell them that you have a chemical contamination situation they will likely send out or comission chemical containment and decontamination specialists. mercury can be VERY harmful so leave the area and call 911 from a different location.

your in some deep doo-doo

idk, let the dog in and let him try it...
