Do all digital thermometers have mercury in them?
Mercury is not found in Digital Thermometers. The temperature is measured using the thermistor inside the tip of the thermometer. They can give quick and accurate results.
Which is more accurate digital or mercury thermometer?
Both laboratory and clinical studies show that the accuracy of the two types of thermometers is the same.
When did they stop selling mercury thermometers?

How do I know if my digital thermometer is accurate?
