what exactly is mercury poisoning and what will happen to somebody who gets it?

494 views

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?

Mercury is a heavy metal and as such is difficult to remove from the body and is toxic to the normal operation of the human body. While tuna does contain mercury you would need to eat an awful lot of it to develop mercury poisoning and to eat it over a very extended period of time most people would get bored of tuna long before that happened. https://youtu.be/HC3ytz70haU
