What are the effects of mercury poisoning?

Answer 1

chronic severe pain in the head and neck, fever, fatigue, nausea, neck stiffness, uncontrollable shaking of any body part, involuntary spasms in the face

Answer 2

Madness, see alice in wonderland, or through the looking glass by Lewis Carrol. RE: The "mad hatter". Mercury was used in hat making, hence the term "as mad as a hatter"

Answer 3

You rise in the heat.

Answer 4

You eventually go insane.

Answer 5

DEADLY THINGS

Answer 6

dunno never got mercury poisoning sorry guess im stupid

Answer 7

death?

Answer 8

Poisoning can be acute or chronic, dose relationship is greater and longer in pregnancy, infants and youth due to organ development - because the pathways to excrete mercury are not well formed.

Acute poisoning refers to situations where the effects are directly related to the ingestion of the substance as a single or multiple exposures occurring within a short time (less than 24 hours).

Chronic poisoning refers to situation where there is often an ingestion of a small quantity of the substance over a long period of time leading to toxic concentrations and thus to symptoms of poisoning.

The acute exposure in a large dose causes colic abdominal pain whereas a small dose of the same over a long period of time leads to neurotoxicity i.e. loss of memory and IQ. Mercury is also known for multiple symptoms with increasing chronic disease.
