Agreed. The assertion in the original message seemed to be that since dental personnel didn't have a problem from their occupational exposure to mercury, there is little basis for the concerns people have about having amalgam in their mouths. That, it seemed to me, was not a particularly well supported thought. > Therefore, we have to look at mercury concentration in various > areas in the body to get some idea about mercury toxicity.

Also, it seems that the studies whose abstracts were posted all rely on generally accepted standards for exposure vs. symptoms in "some highly sensitive individuals." Perhaps these standards are adequate, but how sure are we? I've not studied the issue much, so I don't know. What I do know is that I can taste metal in my mouth quite often. Perhaps the amount is insignificant, but it's not zero. I'll keep reading. Be well, Mike D.
