How can I test my body for chronic mercury poisoning?

It's really hard to get any officials to do it.

But will the tests they do show long term mercury poisoning? After inquiring and researching about it, it looks like most of the tests they give only detects recent changes in the mercury level of your body.

do you have any mercury?
Eat a few hundred cc. If you don't feel any different you probably had it. If you do feel worse, you were fine.

heavy metal poisoning results in visible banding in the finger nails if I"m not mistaken.

Elemental mercury is actually pretty safe to ingest.

Not saying you should go out and buy some of it to eat, though. But if you did, it'll mostly just slide right through you - your body doesn't absorb it very well. Inhalation is more what you have to worry about.

OP do you have
• nervousness
• bad breath
• poor posture
• fear of uncertain future
• Fatigue
• insomnia
• hypochondriasis

If you said yes to one or more of these, chances are you have mercury poisoning.
