Why care must be taken when disposing of a mercury-in-glass thermometer?
Well i'm not that old but i know a few:1)The thermometer will be of two types; a) Clinical Thermometer b) Laboratory Thermometer;a) The Clinical Thermometer: used to measure the temperature of the human body, at home, clinics and hospitals.b) The Laboratory Thermometer: used to measure the temperature in school and other laboratories for scientific research.Precautions:Wash the thermometer before and after use with an antiseptic solution, and handle it with care.See that the mercury levels are below the kink and don't hold the thermometer near its bulb.While noting down the reading in the thermometer, place the mercury level along the eye sight.Do not place the Clinical thermometer in a hot flame or in the hot sun.Note:The Clinical Thermometer should go above 108*F (42*C) and below 94*F (35*C) otherwise it might blow off the top and leak. Therefore, a Clinical Thermometer is used to measure the body temperature.

Someone could probably get killed by contact with organic forms of mercury, such as methylmercury or phenylmercury, which are much more toxic.
Can you give a technical description of the clinical thermometer?
Definition:It is an instrument used to measure body temperature.Diagram:Description:It is a small glass thermometer designed for clinical use in humans or animals. Designed with a narrowing small glass above the bulb so that the mercury column stays in position when the instrument is removed from the body.

What human explorations has there been on Mercury?

An ordinary thermometer can measure and object or substance at any temperature.
