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.

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.
