Anyone know how this thermometer works and if it would have mercury in it? Or would you see the mercury if a thermometer had it in it, like in the old glass ones?

That is one of the spring-type thermometers. No mercury. The only mercury ones are the tube type with silver metal as the temp indicator. If you don't see a slim tube of silver inside a glass tube, it's not a mercury thermometer.

Is it because many of my posts seem like I've had a lot of mercury exposure?
