Symptoms of Mercury Poisoning

Mercury amalgam is dangerous because it releases toxic mercury into the body. Symptoms of mercury poisoning are very often misdiagnosed for months or even, tragically, for years. The main reasons for the misdiagnoses are: the medical profession's unfamiliarity with the disease and the unique way symptoms are expressed from person to person.
 
 

In cases of long-term mercury poisoning, the onset of symptoms may be delayed for years. This is the type of mercury exposure one receives from dental amalgams.

Mercury has a detrimental effect on every organ system in the body. The brain and central nervous system are major targets for mercury poisoning. Initial mercury poisoning symptoms may include vague psychological and behavioral disturbances such as short term memory loss, mood swings, anxiety, depression, fits of anger, irritability, indecision, excitability, fatigue, headaches, nightmares or more severe personality disorders.

There are more than 200 symptoms listed in the medical literature for mercury poisoning. Mercury poisoning can happen with one large dose of mercury or constant small doses, as in the case of dental amalgams.
