Food or feed grains treated with mercury-containing fungicides are a potential source for transmission of the metal through both animal and cereal foods. The onset time is one week or more, at which time the symptoms of numbness, weakness of the legs, spastic paralysis and impaired vision are noted.
Chronic mercury poisoning The symptoms of low-level, chronic mercury exposure and toxicity can be very general and difficult to diagnose based on symptoms alone. In addition, individuals show varying levels of sensitivity to the presence of mercury: amalgam removal may be very important in the recovery process of one person, while for another it may be best to leave the amalgams in place. Mercury is usually targeted because it is the most common toxicity that most people have - for example, amalgams in teeth contain over 50% mercury. |
