Culligan reduces Mercury by 95%

Through the consumption of Mercury in food the people of many geographical areas have been affected. This is even more so the case where the country is considered a developing one. Many have had to deal with the catastrophic outbreaks of Mercury‐induced diseases and mortality.

Countries such as Japan, Iraq, Ghana, the Seychelles, and the Faroe Islands have faced such epidemics.

They revealed the insidious and debilitating nature of Mercury poisoning. Its creeping neuro-toxicity is highly devastating. Mainly the central and peripheral nervous systems of children were affected.

Central nervous system defects and erethism as well as arrythmias, cardiomyopathies, and kidney damage have all been associated with Mercury exposure.

Necrotizing bronchitis and pneumonitis can also arise from inhalation of Mercury vapours, which can in the worst cases result in respiratory failure.

Mercury is also considered a potent immunostimulant and suppressant. Depending on exposure dose and individual susceptibility. It produces a number of pathologic sequelae including lympho-proliferation, hypergammaglobulinemia and total systemic hyper‐ and hyporeactivities. We have highlighted above all the common sources of Mercury and where humans could be exposed to it.

We explained its biogeochemical cycling in the environment and it systemic, immunotoxic, genotoxic/carcinogenic, and teratogenic health effects. More, we talked about the dietary influences on its toxicity; as well as the important considerations in risk assessment and management of Mercury poisoning.

We would like to recommend this website as an excellent reference on all things Mercury.
