It is my understanding of sensitivities that once you develop one to a chemical, that other substances that are absorbed or the uptake is controlled by similar protien receptors can also be affected.
Therefore, just because an individual has a sensitivity caused by mercury , it does not necessarily mean that other things he is sensitive to also contain mercury. mho BTW I have used Bag Balm almost every Jan, Feb, and March for the last 15 years. It is during those months that my fingers are prone to splitting due to dryness.
