Rumor has it that Geoffrey Thomas may have mentioned these words:
I would have thought that thermometers are fairly safe
as there is no air
inside , only mercury and a vacuum ( well mercury vapour ).
I can't see that there any restrictions on shipping - most of them probably
come from China , these days , anyway.
Ask your shipping company. The glass on a thermometer is pretty thick.
I did some searches on ePay, and I did find a few people selling things
with mercury in them. Most of these people were shipping worldwide with
USPS Priority mail, so I'd doubt there'd be any problems... ;-)
[[ Sellam: I found one guy selling 5 decent-sized mercury switches -- if
you needed a 2nd round, or more eye-drops... ;-) ]]
Thanks again, all!
