"NEW YORK: Recent laboratory tests performed for The New York Times found so much mercury in tuna sushi that a regular diet of even two or three pieces a week at some restaurants could be a health hazard for the average adult, based on guidelines set out by the Environmental Protection Agency."

  • It is just possible that Mercury is not that dangerous, at least not in all people. Growing up in rural places, as I did, I often got Poison Ivy, Oak, and Sumac. In fact, I am covered with it as I write this (I got it from some fire-wood). Well, before Mercury became officially a bad thing, there was a product called Mercurichrome. It was similar to iodine, but with mercury. I spent most of my childhood summers with this stuff all over me. It was and still is the only product that would cure these rashes almost instantly. If I could get some today I would definitely use it. I'm sure we have all heard the saying "Mad as a Hatter." This comes from the use of mercury in those rings painted inside of hats. Mercury was believed to cause mental disorders in the people working in the hat factories. I am glad to report that, despite so much exposure to Mercury during my life, (although there are those who might disagree) I have not as yet suffered from mental illness.
