Yes, incredible eh? They handle it as a major toxic waste, but quite happily put it in our mouths. The mouth is probably the worst possible place they could even think of for mercury. Warm, moist, breaking down from saliva, chewing and hot fluids.

If you really wanted to poison someone, but wanted it to be something insidious and not immediately lethal or anything too obvious, this would be the way to go. That way you coudl ensure a small release of that toxin 24/7 without even having to administer it.

Some people's systems seem more equipped than others to handle this, but even then, I've heard of those who were very healthy with amalgams being hit by mercury toxicity once they received a blow to their immunity. So it seems it does actually effect everybody, but so long as their body hasn't got much else to contend with, they can often seem to get away with it. Once hit enough, they can slip right into chronic mercury poisning from then on. Happened to me and have heard this from others also.
