Mercury is very toxic and can easily break into very small droplets that cannot be seen. These will give off mercury vapor slowly. It is a health risk over time. Some sensitive people even get a headache just being in a lab that had residual mercury from previous accidents.

By the way, it is not advisable to use a mercury thermometer for stirring, for the above reasons.

Buy those with the red liquid inside, I think they are colored alcohols (can't remember) that have very low toxicities.

If you insist on mercury thermometers (they are actually more accurate and responsive), then there are some which are lined with a plastic coating which can contain the breakage, those you can order from lab suppliers.

Digital thermometer (4 inch probe) with max and min memory. $25 at basement of Sim Lim Tower. I have two. One is sufficient; however, my baby hid it for a while so I got another one.
