What is Mercury Poisoning?
Mercury poisoning occurs when there is exposure to a large amount of mercury or when small amounts are absorbed over time, allowing mercury to accumulate in the body and cause noticeable problems.
Symptoms of Mercury Poisoning
Mercury is a soft tissue seeker. Therefore, mercury spreads throughout the body, entering soft-tissue organs. For example, mercury will be stored in your soft-tissue organs, such as your heart, brain, muscles, liver, and kidneys. Eventually, the mercury will begin irritating the organs. The organs most irritated will determine the symptoms expressed.
Mercury and Your Heart
Mercury has a serious effect on the heart. If the body stores large amounts of mercury in the heart, it can cause enlargement of the heart. Then, the heart may struggle to function. Mercury poisoning can cause symptoms such as high blood pressure, in which the top number (systolic blood pressure) is significantly elevated while the bottom number (diastolic blood pressure) is normal.

Mercury and Your Brain
Unfortunately, mercury can have serious effects on your brain as well. It can cause symptoms such as migraine headaches or symptoms identical to autism, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s Disease. READ MORE AND SEE VIDEOS ON THIS TOPIC
Mercury and Your Kidneys
The kidneys are responsible for helping to clear mercury from your body. As the kidneys are trying to remove the mercury from your body, the mercury can build up and irritate them, causing them to fail. With time, a physician may diagnose kidney (renal) failure.
