>> "Mercury and Human Health:

>

>> Humans risk ingesting dangerous levels of mercury when they eat
>> contaminated fish. Since the poison is odorless, invisible and
>> accumulates in the meat of the fish, it is not easy to detect and
>> can't be avoided by trimming off the skin or other parts.

>

>> Once in the human body, mercury acts as a neurotoxin, interfering with
>> the brain and nervous system.

>

>> Exposure to mercury can be particularly hazardous for pregnant women
>> and small children. During the first several years of life, a child's
>> brain is still developing and rapidly absorbing nutrients. Prenatal
>> and infant mercury exposure can cause mental retardation, cerebral
>> palsy, deafness and blindness. Even in low doses, mercury may affect a
>> child's development, delaying walking and talking, shortening
>> attention span and causing learning disabilities.

>

>> In adults, mercury poisoning can adversely affect fertility and blood
>> pressure regulation and can cause memory loss, tremors, vision loss
>> and numbness of the fingers and toes. A growing body of evidence
>> suggests that exposure to mercury may also lead to heart disease."
