Classic Symptoms of Mercury Poisoning

As a parent, one of my greatest fears came true three years ago. My youngest son was sick, but not with any of the typical viruses that afflict small children. I looked for signs of flu or even the common cold, but there were none. In fact, the problem didn’t have anything to do with his respiratory system – at least not on the surface. When I took him into the pediatrician’s office and he was diagnosed with mercury poisoning a few minutes later, I was utterly flabbergasted.

The mercury poisoning symptoms were all there in front of our noses: his sudden lack of coordination, increased sweating, elevated heartbeat, sensory impairment and dulled memory. According to the doctor, methylmercury had entered the nervous system some months before, and if left untreated it would stay there and wreak even more havoc. The sooner we treated the problem, the fewer long-term effects would remain.

As soon as the diagnosis was handed down, my husband and I began to speculate about the source of the contamination. After throwing out some possibilities – we didn’t eat any more fish than a normal family, nor does our son have any amalgam fillings – the answer became clear. There had been a mercury-based preservative in one of his routine vaccinations. Needless to say, we were outraged. I recommend that every parent becomes familiar with the warning signs so that they can seek treatment right away.
