Avoid mercury when pregnant
, 10 09th, 2008
We know there’s a host of things you can’t eat or drink or do when you’re pregnant – and for good reason. One of the most important things to avoid, though, is anything that could contain mercury. Which often times means raw fish or shellfish. Women who are exposed to mercury in pregnancy have given birth to children with serious birth defects due to mercury poisoning.
In utero mercury exposure can lead to Minamata disease, which has symptoms such as ataxia, numbness in the hands and feet, general muscle weakness, a narrowed field of vision, and damage to the hearing and speech. In extreme cases, the disease can cause insanity, paralysis, coma and death after just a few weeks of the onset of symptoms.
