Thermometers - Mercury or

I have a collection of six. One is an old model I acquired on e bay that actually has a handle of sorts. (I will try to post a photo.) Doesn't matter to my wife. She likes them all.?

Not actually sure but think she owns like a bunch, has like 3 models of the Digital Probe Thermometers, a few Digital Thermometers and also a few Glass Rectal Thermometers but it seems all she uses on me is her beauty as she calls it the Digital Rectal Probe Thermometer that they use in the hospitals...her go too and she loves using it on me!

I used to have the old mecury thermometers but, I got rid of them when they were taken off the shelf at drug stores due to the mercury being toxic. I still do remember at the age of 40 when my mom took my rectal temperature during my infant and toddler years with those mercury thermometers.

Did you throw them in the garbage?

Yes, I did.

You contaminated the landfill with mercury.

Mercury or mercury containing items are to be specially disposed of at a hazardous waste facility, NOT the garbage.

I tossed them out about 20 years ago.

I have a collection of 17 glass rectal thermometers.
