Sid, Sounds really silly "Mercury causing illnesses", well they thought that if children in daycare or physician's caring for patients would wash their hands this could cut back on infections and diseases. It doesn't sound very silly now. <smile> What I think is happening is some people will develop allergies to the substance or perhaps the levels are simply too high for the body to throw off. In either case less is probably better.
