Hi Kath,

No problem! I'm very sorry to hear of your reaction and what happened to you. That is most upsetting. Unless something else was at work - e.g. exposure to radiation/xray or something, I can't figure out what else it could be other than mercury vapor exposure and intake.

Do you find mercury has these effects on you? Because spasms is very much a part of what I have also experienced....

Consider how much vapor is there and how much uptake you would get into the lungs/nasal cavity and from there into any/every area of the body (brain included). Those of us more damaged/sensitive/vulnerable, perhaps do not have the protective elements in place against external exposures like this.

I remember once I got very toxic from using a candle in my room for a couple of nights. I was a mess!
