In speaking to Grandma Skinner the other day, she told the following story. Dad you will have to correct me if I am wrong with the details.
Back when dad was working on the oil rigs in Utah, he became sick with a fever. He called grandma and asked what he should do. She then proceeded to tell him to take his temperature. While he was taking his temp, with an old fashioned thermometer with mercury in it, he fell asleep. I guess when he woke up in the morning, he realized that part of the thermometer was missing. He must have swallowed it in his sleep. NOW FAST FORWARD TO.... ABOUT 10-15 years... I believe it was Shayla who ate a fish thermometer. Dad did you tell her how good it tasted, so she decided to try it?

Just to add to the story, Dan and Dad were discussing the incidents. Dad was worried about mercury poison so he had an x-ray. After reading up on it, he learned that poison from mercury can only come through the skin. Shayla's came out through her diaper, little bb looking things from a fish thermometer.
