Is it possible to have mercury poisoning?

I broke one of those spiral mercury light bulbs about 3 weeks ago. I vacuumed really well, but not well enough obviously. Yesterday I got a piece of it stuck in my foot. It didn't go in far and it was just a small little tip that made it in, but it did draw blood. I'm probably being over-paranoid but is it possible to get mercury poisoning from this?

No, the mercury doesn't stick to the glass.
