It's funny, Missy, but before I had my amalgams removed, NOTHING made me jump. My kids all thought it was so funny. They would do there darndest to scare me and none of it would fizz on me. I was taking magnesium at the time. I am still taking magnesium, and since having my amalgams removed, 9 months ago, almost since the day they were removed, I now startle - not overly easily, but probably when most normal people would. Funny thing is, now that my kids are getting what they wanted - a startle reaction - they don't try much any more. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
