I agree with this. Mercury vapor is so lethal, that they did a test on a dentist's own house and found it full of mercury vapor. Simply because each day he was taking it in with him on his clothes, skin, hair, shoes.

Very bad! This is not really an issue that most take that seriously unfortunately. But it exists. In fact, there have been some dentists who got so ill from mercury vapor in their job, they had to leave their job. Not only this, they could not even enter a dental office again without getting severely sick.

So even some of them have had this problem. Also mercury can go through walls, it travels everywhere and an office building can be contaminated simply by one dental office in the same building.

I visited my dentist for consultation only and he had a new office and had only been there for a few months. The office had not been previously used as a dentla office, plus he had special equipment to extract vapor from the air. Yet, i was so poisoned after the visit, I could not drive home properly and had to have my father take over. I got home, deeply depressed, then later had uncontrollable giggling fits (which i get with mercury), swining with depression, anxiety and the rest. I had to chelate it back out with DMSA. Stayed sick for months.

That is one visit. Not everybody has this, some are not that sensitive to it or as toxic, but some are and it's a nightmare. Some people are terrified to even go in for a routine check up all because of becoming repoisoned. One guy I know took AGES to detox his mercury, painstaking chelation. HE goes in to a biologic dentist to have a clean done, and ends up having to start again in his chelation. It put him back months.

I am glad you are trying to convince your dental nurse girlfriend of this, it is very dangerous and she is doing no good to herself in this line of work. It can cause horrible effects, if not quickly, most certainly over time. She maybe a rare person with a high threshold for mercury, but it is still the most toxic metal known to man, so nobody is immune.
