[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 232397"] Lisa, After I posted this, I looked some more and did read that blood testing is only reliable if done shortly after exposure (I'm looking specifically into mercury). I'm going to talk to my doctor. Hopefully, she won't think I'm nuts. When we were kids, we used to break thermometers and play with the mercury. My son broke at least two mercury thermometers within the last 6 years. Probably a long shot, but worth looking into I think. I was looking at the NIH page on mercury and it said that exposure to mercury from a thermometer is a serious health risk. At least, I think it was the NIH page. I looked at a few from reputable sources. Can't remember which said what. [/QUOTE]
