what are themometers made of

[starshaker]

is it still mercury

no. Not the electronic ones anyway. If you have an oldfashioned one with some silver stuff in it yes it would be mercury.

dd came through with the thermometer and it was broken not sure where she broke it or if it was broken when she found it what should i do

if it is an old fashioned one ring the gp. How old is dd? Can she tell you anything?
