How to recognize these 5 toxic dangers (slideshow)
Mercury
Mercury is reported to degenerate sensory and motor nerves. The more common symptoms of this are paresthesia (tingling numbness or pain), sensory peripheral neuropathic pain and visual disturbances. Motor nerve problems from this include unsteady gait, weakness, falling, tremors and slurred speech. Headaches, emotional problems and rashes have also been reportedly correlated with mercury toxicity.
Moreover, mercury has been found to concentrate and impair function of the heart, thyroid, pituitary and adrenal glands.
How can you get mercury toxicity? It can come from dental amalgam (silver fillings), tuna fish, mercurial fungicides on treated seeds and vegetables, medications, occupational exposure or even maternal to infant via the placenta or breast milk.
Symptoms that could be related to mercury toxicity are many. Think of symptoms of dysfunction of the adrenal gland, brain and nerves (depression, memory loss, nervousness, neuropathies and muscle weakness) or skin (rashes, hair loss).
