Severe Effects of Mercury Poisoning
, 06 02nd, 2009
While short term exposure to mercury can cause effects such as bloating and redness of the skin, the long term effects can be much more damaging. Mercury is an extremely volatile substance, and if even a small amount of elemental mercury were to enter the blood stream, the result could be fatal. Long term exposure to mercury, which most often occurs with organic mercury that is found in plants and fish, can cause side effects including kidney failure, nervous system damage, and even autism. While the exact cause of autism isn’t known, it’s long been suspected that environmental factors, such as exposure to mercury, can increase the risk of autism in children. Exposure to organic mercury might not be the sole cause autism, but it is certainly a contributor. The effects of mercury poisoning are severe, and it’s important for pregnant women to avoid foods that contain mercury and avoid exposure to mercury.
Mercury is found in all kinds of household items in larger quantities including fluorescent light bulbs and certain thermometers. Mercury is also contained in the preservative thimerosal, which is used in childhood vaccines. Mothers should be extra careful when vaccinating their child.
