Mercury contains mercury, which can cause skin burns if touched. If it enters the esophagus, it can also cause nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, abdominal pain, and even stomach perforation. It is recommended that after the thermometer is broken, it must be kept away, gloves should be worn, and mercury should be cleaned with tissues before being put into hazardous waste bins.
