Long story short a coworker of mine has mercury poisoning. He’s been out for months now and obviously we’re all pretty worried about him. Apparently he went on a nearly all tuna diet for a few months which was the impetus for all this. He’s not very communicative about it and I/we want to be sensitive to that but can anybody explain exactly what he’s facing?
