All larger predatory fish carry higher mercury levels. From what I understand Mercury doesn't disappear and the more bait they eat the larger their levels grow. So it is advised that Tuna, Shark, Swordfish must be eaten in moderation.

Mercury is not outlawed. Thimerosol is still widely used a preservative in vaccines and mercury amalgam is what is normally used to fill your cavities. To make this fishing related it has been found that high mercury levels in some fish is actually a naturally occurring phenomena, not a pollution issue. Samples of Swordfish caught early last century were tested and contained very high mercury content. Because they are long lived predators they tend to concentrate mercury (among other things) over their entire lifetime.

Morning, I'm not absolutely sure. A friend of my dads used to use it. He started developing some sort of reaction to it. Come to find out the repeated use of it was causing the reaction. He became sensitive to mercury during his job in WWII, (he never said what he did). Seams the mercury, or mercury derivative was what was causing it. As stated in another post, they probably changed the formula since mercury is basically outlawed anymore. So very possibly my statement was out of turn from old info. Jimi "Good lookin' out Jimi." So, to what degree (in what quanities) is this mercury problem. I mean so does half the fish you eat.........more or less. Spose it would matter if you used it everyday like a fiend........but if it's just a once a week deal......... and not even every week.............?? mark..... -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
