You would not want to take ALA at the time of an exposure to Hg! Remember lipoic acid moves Hg across the blood brain barrier in *both directions.
Taking DMPS, vitamin C and E, probably selenium, zinc and some foods with generous amounts of sulfur seems reasonable.
Breaking a bulb outside the house seems low-risk. The breeze would cause the Hg to dissipate, no?
More could be said about the symptoms you mentioned.
