A little thing actually brought misery to the whole family

Recently, Ms. Wang accidentally broke a mercury thermometer and just mopped it. That night, the three of them started to have headaches and stomachaches. The doctor found that it was mercury poisoning!

Once a thermometer is broken, the mercury will evaporate quickly. At this time, you should open the window as soon as possible, use a moist cotton swab or tape to collect the mercury, and put it in a plastic bottle. Essential knowledge! Remember it!

Thermometer was broken, and the whole family was poisoned by mercury! Almost died!! A must-read! Repost once to avoid tragedy!!

Last Saturday morning, Ms. Wang found that her 2-year-old daughter Xiao Xinxin had a fever, so she used a thermometer to take her daughter's temperature in the bedroom. When he was swinging the thermometer, he accidentally dropped it and it broke into pieces. Some silvery-white mercury beads fell on the floor. Ms. Wang mopped the floor, but some mercury beads still got under the bed. She was busy taking her daughter to the hospital and didn't have time to clean it up.

That night, Ms. Wang, her husband, and daughter began to suffer from headaches and stomachaches, but they could not find the cause. The next day, Ms. Wang told a medical student friend about the broken mercury. Her friend reminded her that mercury would evaporate, and asked her whether the headache might be related to the lost mercury. She suggested that she get checked out.

This Monday, Ms. Wang and her family of three went to the hospital for a urine mercury test. Sure enough, the mercury in the urine of the three people exceeded the standard by several times. Headaches and stomach pains are the early symptoms of mercury poisoning. The family of three needs to undergo mercury removal treatment!

Ms. Wang regretted it deeply and blamed herself for her momentary negligence which had harmed her entire family.

Not long ago, a 4-year-old boy in Jiangsu had a fever. His mother put a thermometer in his mouth. When his mother left for one minute, the boy bit the thermometer into pieces!

Doctors say it is best to take a child's temperature under the armpit or anus. If it is bitten, rinse your mouth with clean water and seek medical attention immediately.

Be sure to tell young parents!
