WHOA! How’d you get it in there? Experimenting in your room? Or perhaps you dropped the thermometer? I forgot, but there’s this one sponge or powder you can put on it to get it off, but I can’t seem to remember. Just in case, don’t let your room get too hot or it will be hazardous. Well, good luck. Next time, be careful.

In the meantime, use a face mask. =)

If it is a tiny bit, you could pick it up with something made of copper, like wire or a penny. More mercury? More copper.
