At least when you eat fish, the mercury is (or seems to be) due to a natural occurrence. Fish is definitely less processed than that of our high-fructose corn syrup-ed cereals and whatnot. I prefer a can of tuna over those cereals any day - slight trace of mercury or not.

Most stuff we eat is probably contaminated one way or another. The best option is to eat a mix of contaminants. A little bit of heavy metal fish, a little bit of radioactive lamb, a selection of pesticides on fruit & veg.

I heavy on the preservatives, cause I need all the preservatives I can get.

Hi Moose - I thought some of the environmentally-minded folks I've been following in the local NYS/Capital Region media over the years were taking the mercury hazard a bit too far when they got their blood tested for mercury content a few years ago. But now, with what you write, I'm hoping a check for mercury might be part of a standard doctor's check-up, especially for children. Will be checking with my daughter's pediatrician - many thanks for blogging on this topic. - Larry

I have seen what mercury can do to people who are or where living on the coast of Norway and Japan, especially their children! The Japanese incident is the most notorious of these but, it is not only mercury that is such a great hazzard to the human population!

Here in the UK we have massive amounts of "Oestregen" in the rivers, some of it goes into our drinking water, in the rivers a lot of the male fish have become female because of this and we now think that this is affecting the human population causing male infertiltity!!!

Then there is the run off into our rivers of farm residues like phosphates and nitogen bearing chemicals, there is different food colouration products and other harmful chemicals in our food plus the toxic air we breath, all this seems to have gone unnoticed by our political leaders who think only of personal gain and not about our countries health!!!

And all they can think of doing nowadays is cutting CO2 levels to stop global warming while we the population are being poisond out of exsistence!!!!!

I must have missed it(explanation). Evidently it is the vapors from mercury that is most harmful. Elemental mercury is so dense it cannot float in the air like water mist (clouds) and the evaporation point is way higher than normal room temperatures.

Would someone please explain in plain language, how elemental mercury in liquid form can be inhaled from the air?

And how come the dentists are not all dead already from handling mercury to make fillings?

Oh my G**; I'm gonna die! My dentist never did any of those things.

Nah, you'll just go slowly mad. Look on the bright side - so will he/she. If the dentist don't get ya, the wallpaper might.

Honestly, I'm glad I'm an old codger. I've managed to live with ALL these poisons floating around and in the water supply and poisoned fish, etc. ad nauseum. Someday, perhaps after I become infirm after ingesting all this poison, I will look back and say "well yeh. I guess all those clowns that spend their waking hours worrying about such stuff rather than living their lives were right". Personally, I want to spend my time living life rather than worrying about all these poisons.

When you were a lad, possibly playing with a stick and hope, you weren't' surrounded by vehicle emissions. Your supper wouldn't have been laced with chemical additives, you weren't surrounded by plastics/petro-chem derivitives, and teeth simply fell out. You may have a point though, many people smoke until past 100 and are quite healthy (in comparative terms).

No you are right! The motor way was at least a hundred yards from where we played. Except when we went looking for "black writing sticks" th e4left over cabon rods th ebattery factory dumped out the back. Their garbage dump was one of our favourite places to hunt for neat stuff. Another popular play area was to go hide and seek in the bunkers left over from WW2 . It must have been as late as 1956 before they demolished them all and we had no interesting play areas left to explore.

I can stil recall one of our favourite summer activities. Someone would get a magnifying lens and we would break off the handle bar covering. When you focused the sun's rays on it the celluloid would erupt in the most marvellous plume of thick white smoke. Left all of us coughing. But then what did we know. Most people considered themselves lucky just to have survived the war. We also collected spent bullet casings and polished them up. Someone had discovered a place where the SS had done a lot of executions and the brass casings could still be found lightly buried in the soft ground. Tha't where I learned to dismantle live bulletsls with a pair of pliers. Oh what fun we had in our youthful ignorance.

Now I'm afraid to get out of bed because of all the risky hazards the experts keep telling me about.

Stay in bed - the (supposedly) most common form of accident is tripping over. Not tripping over an object, just tripping on ones own feet ! My god, this life stuff is too dangerous !!
