Is there equal concern about fish consumption in young children, specifically tuna and swordfish as both are extremely high in mercury? How do the levels of mercury in thiomersal compare to that of a few ounces of tuna that a child may consume somewhat regularly each week? If anyone is concerned with how much fish should be consumed based on the type of fish and your weight please visit http://www.takepart.com/gotmercury. It’s an excellent site to gauge consumption so yourself and your children are not consuming too much fish per week.
Maybe there is another chemical or another environmental source in addition to mercury because mercury was used long ago in the dental industry to mix material used for dentists.

Wow! I didn’t know that the chemicals would cause such damage.

Very interesting to know that a chemical like this can cause so much damage. So many people without this knowledge would never know such harms.
