In the summertime of 2014, my family were victims of an industrial accident that happened in our house. We had a family heirloom from our Grandfather, that shattered; and in the 100 degree weather of Texas, it turned to vapor in our house. We thought we had cleaned it up, but.. In short, we missed some. And without known origins, my siblings and I became extremely ill over the next four months. Mercury Vapor Poisoning only has potent affect on developing bodies- meaning only children. A standard human's mercury levels is between one and ten, my little brother's level was 37, my oldest brother's level was 50, and mine was the worst- 237. At 300, for an average *adult* human being, you go brain dead. December 15th, 2014, I woke up that morning some place other than my room and I was behaving strangely. We didn't know it then, but I was in-between a "Postictal Phase", which is a period of time immediately following a seizure. And when I arrived at my school to be dropped off, I got one foot out of the door before blacking out. According to every witness of me at that time, I started having a seizure. I was taken to the emergency room, and given too much medicine where I slipped into a coma. I was said to only have a 15% chance to wake up, and if I did, I would be brain dead. Well, clearly whatever gods are at work here, disagreed. I woke up two nights later, and that was the beginning of a lot of nastiness. I was only 10 years old, at the time. I'm 18 years old now, and can say with certainty that getting Mercury Poisoning ruined my life. I have chronic illnesses as a result of the prolonged exposure, including Mad Hatter's Disease- Or Erethism, as it's called. The very disease that the term "Mad as a Hatter" comes from. I have intention tremors, irritability, severe insomnia, severe sensitivity, excessive fatigue, dementia, severe depression, mental confusion, severe anxiety and "shyness", Hallucinations, Delusions, Paranoia and dizziness. The disease is not well understood, as it's history lies within the 19th century, when hatters went 'mad' from the Mercuric Nitrate they put in the felt for the production line of hats. I just happen to have the 19th century disease that's not well understood, and doctors just have been referring me to the next doctor for about 8 ears now. I would be lying if I said that living was wanted. Every single day, I've watched and recorded myself as I deteriorate. I don't remember anything outside of today, unless it's engrained into trauma. It didn't help that I had a really hard life shortly after emerging from my coma. Abusive household, added complex PTSD on top of this. It's too much to bare. I take medications for the symptoms, but there is no cure for the dementia. There's no running from it. And one day, I fear sometime soon, I will wake up, and lose the meanings to languages and words. People I love will not be recognizable. I digress, the pain of existing is too much to bare. Yeah, I survived, but what is life if I can't remember any of it? What is life having nightmares every night, and waking up to a living nightmare? I don't receive any proper care for my affliction, I just coast every day and try to be as normal as I can. I think about suicide every single day of my life. I think I will continue to do so, until I can't comprehend taking that action, anymore. My name is Shelby Askew, please don't forget about me. I am a real person, and a real survivor of Mercury Vapor Poisoning.
Look up Dr Boyd Haley and the compound he developed called OSR which is for mercury chelation. You can find some hope, I believe, in that you might be able to get the mercury out using this compound. Don't give up!
It vaporizes even in negative degrees. Let alone at your body temperature. At all times. It increases A LOT while brushing, eating or working out and getting hot. Even talking fast
Been having nerve pain, numbness, tingling throughout my body. Also have vertigo, dizziness and feeling mentally unstable. Had a blood test with high levels of mercury in my blood. Ate sardines and tuna almost daily for ten years.
I’ve got the same Chris. Yours was probably the tuna. Mine is due to a bunch of V’s I ‘had to have’ 10 years ago for vocational purposes. It’s an autoimmune reaction. I’m looking into hardcore detox now, intravenous- using DMSA and DMPS. Will be costly, but worth it! I’m thinking to add ALA after a few sessions. It’s dangerous to add that straight away as ALA crosses the blood / brain barrier, whereas the other 2 don’t. So I’m thinking clear the body load a bit first before addressing the brain. EDTA apparently doesn’t bind to mercury, whereas these other ones do. It’s going to uncomfortable as the mercury will be ‘mobilised’ and there’s danger of redistribution - but I need this OUT of my body so I’m prepared to pay the $$ and take my chances. All the best on your journey. Get rid of it if you can.
@@onlyhis5870 I did 5 mg ALA every 3 hours for 72 hours. Still having debilitating leg weakness 3 weeks later. Last weekend I took one tablet of NAC and it just added fuel to the fire.

W. Eugene Smith documented the disaster now known as Minamata disease in Japan you spoke about. It wasn't an accident , Chisso Corp dumped mercury into the water for years and years knowingly.
According to the WHO everything up to 0.3mg of Mercury per week is safe. Thats about the same amount as in 1kg of Tuna. Assuming that you'd actually even feel sick from too much Mercury you'd have to consume AND ABSORB more than that so lets say you consumed 0.4mg of Mercury per week / 0.8mg in 2 weeks. Did you really eat ~2.5kg of Tuna in 2 weeks? I doubt that. Probably just coincidence.

When a fluorescent lamp breaks, its mercury spreads around, and that mercury may combine ionically with other substances to form, for example, extremely-hazardous mercury salts such as mercuric chloride. All fluorescent lamps manufactured in the past, and presently manufactured (in 2021), contain a small amount of mercury, with CFLs (compare fluorescent lamps) containing less than the conventional types. For a typical broken lamp in typical circumstances, the amount of mercury absorbed into the body is extremely small; less mercury, for example, than would be absorbed from a couple of cans of tuna fish. So, individual breakages under average circumstances are of little concern, but cumulative environmental effects resulting from billions of crushed lamps are very-much a concern.
I did a lab today and I was putting copper 2 sulphate on a hot plate and it was giving off steam. Since I was looking at the thermometer in my copper solution I was close to the steam therefore I inhaled it likely. Now like 7 hours later I have a headache on the right side of my head and pains in my right ear. The pain radiates to my neck or around my collarbone. The “pain” is occurring only on the right side of my head area. I’ve never gotten a headache like this before.
Clicked on this because I used to eat tuna sandwiches every day as a kid and then when I was older started seeing the articles on recommendations because of mercury. Quite a lot of this went over my head to be honest but it was interesting as I haven’t learnt much chemistry since Year 10. Cheers!
yes it can feel like what you would think parkinsons would feel like,it can move on from those symptoms to scitzophrenia or bi polar if you like. honestly you couldn't make it up its tragic.

I ate canned tuna everyday for years, for the most part I felt fine, but had GI issues that my doctor couldn’t figure out. What’s the risk of eating a can of tuna daily for years?
Hey there! I just got mine removed. My doctor said detoxing before removal is incredibly dangerous since detox methods are designed to absorb the mercury. When you have amalgam fillings, the detox will essentially absorb the mercury from those and deposit them straight into your system. Please detox after the removal has been completed.
@@aleiadian7775 pls let me know how you doing… how are you detoxing so much conflicting information… I have 3 and feel it’s contributing to my sudden and mysterious illness and want to get them removed asap, biological dentist are so expensive, I would need to sell a kidney to afford them
I'm doing much better now but there I didn't think I was going to make it. What really marked things for me was the sudden unbearable depression and anxiety, racing thoughts, new phobias, etc . But it does get better!! I understand your struggle. I would recommend financing the treatment and paying it off slowly. You can apply for a CareCredit card online and get approved in seconds. Then, you can find a biological dentist in your area who accepts CareCredit. Also, you can contact the dentist office and ask them if they can put you on a payment plan.
@@aleiadian7775 thank you take care of yourself… Its very hard, I am struggling and barely functioning, 18 doctors and they cant find what’s the issue…. I will pray for you and all others struggling… its a tough world and we need every ounce of strength… stay well

Thank you so much! My mercury thermometer broke (0.1 ml). I managed to collect 90% of the beads, however some slipped into the crevises of the wooden floor. Is it a risk? What would you suggest to remove it?
@A SIMPLE GUY Touching liquid mercury from the broken thermometer is not a risk. It doesn't even deserve medical check really. You should collect all the mercury droplets, for example using syringe. And spread powdered pure sulfur so it binds with mercury into less volatile compound, that is easier to collect. Keep windows open for long time, probably few days. Otherwise remains of mercury will slowly evaporate and get inhaled, which is actually dangerous!
