Desquamation
, 05 17th, 2012
When I was a young kid we didn’t know much about the dangers of mercury poisoning. A broken thermometer was just about the coolest thing in the world. You could make the mercury that leaked out do all sorts of “neat” things.
We didn’t know what it was called at the time, but one of the little boys in the neighborhood who had been caught playing with mercury suffered from desquamation. It’s one of the mercury poisoning symptoms in which the skin peels and flakes off the body. His hands looked like snake skin. Thank goodness we have so much more awareness today!
