Nah, just the liquid itself exposed to the air will create plenty of mercury 
vapor. The point is to clean it up as quickly as possible. Even a busted 
thermometer has caused mercury poisoning in children....I'm reading about 
amalgams (dental fillings) right now.....it seems that one symptom of too 
much mercury is irritibility.....so, I'M WARNING YA, YOU'D BETTER WATCH 
IT!!!!!<g> (too many fillings in this mouth....)

Sheesh, no WONDER we have some many flame wars on this list....
