Thread: How can someone be poisoned with mercury?

fish is often poisoned with mercury. a lot of fish caught from the ocean or polluted waters are high in mercury. if your friend eats a lot of fish, this may be the cause

Themometers have a lot of mercury, but I doubt your friend drank it. It's a possibility that someone is poisoning him, but unlikely. It could be in fish. A long time ago, Shi Huang Di(China's 1st emperor) kept drinking mercury because it was said that the powers it possessed were to make a human immortal. Of course that not true, it actually killed him! I'm sure there are plenty of ways the mercury could have entered his body.

It's probably fish or the water he drinks.

The mob used to poison enemies slowly by putting mercury in the light bulbs of a victims home. Mercury would slowly diffuse into the immediate environment and build up so gradually most people would think they were simply having a run of increasingly bad health (before of course it took their life). Change your light bulbs. Have a look at this information:

Number one mercury is a liquid,bright and shiny ooh. Soory.
mercury is used in thousands of product that you use every day.
More than likly he came in contact with it through work or in his diet.
tuna,fresh fish .Is his place of residence an older place. paints have mercury in them .It has to be somthing he ingested over time .Or a item that leeches mercury.through his skin.

The consumption of fish is by far the most significant source of ingestion-related mercury exposure in humans, although plants and livestock also contain mercury due to bioaccumulation of mercury from soil, water and atmosphere, and due to biomagnification by ingesting other mercury-containing organisms. Exposure to mercury can occur from breathing contaminated air, or from improper use or disposal of mercury and mercury-containing objects, for example, after spills of elemental mercury or improper disposal of fluorescent light bulbs.
