It smashed everywhere. I called around frantically searching to find a way to clean up the mess because I knew the bulb had a high content of mercury but nobody seemed to know what I was talking about. I cleaned up the mess the best I could, but I still don't know if I cleaned up properly or should I still be worried. I have three children and I don't want anyone to be harmed by this. Maybe I am being paranoid, but please respond so I know everything will be okay.
