Table 6. The effects of eating and drinking elemental mercury on rodents. Kidney problems, immune problems, changes of behavior, death of young, where can I get some of this for myself ? Instant availability for "100+ million satisfied mercury amalgam dental patients". ............... . . . As for symptoms: if "lack of ambition" means "you can't get off the sofa", then it is clear to me that chronic exposure can bring you to this exact same place. Irritability is also part and parcel with CFS. >From this we conclude that mercury amalgam fillings, proven to be continuously >releasing mercury vapor into our mouths, is safe ? What do you imagine mercury >amalgam out gassing mercury, abrading particles, and releasing mercury ions >into your mouth over 20 years will do for you ? Table 2. The effects of breathing elemental mercury vapor on rodents. Why do we know so much more about the rodent effects ? Because after you expose them, you dissect them, and look at what you have done. Obviously you can't do this to humans. They used exposure levels equivalent to the buildup in my 1995 hair (3.4 ppm mercury) to expose these poor little creatures for one hour. The result: devastating consequences to their major body organs. There's likely to be a difference from humans in the issue of body mass differences. Mass increases as a cubic function when you increase up to human size. We can probably withstand more than these small animals. The point not to forget is that mercury is doing damage at all levels of exposure. The longer term exposures only get worse for rodents. . . . Rowena Thinking of you rat owners still! Just don't take them to the dentist!
