I think i broke a thermostat. the thermostat contains a small glass with mercury in between the indicators.... now this glass broke off... the glass itself did not appear to spill mercury... wiped it off anyway, ventilated the area... should i worry?

No: Metallic mercury is not particularly dangerous. As long as you cleaned the spill and ventilated the area, you do not need to worry. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
