Symptoms of Mercury Exposure

Given that Mercury Poisoning is so difficult to detect and has such a wide array of symptoms, it often goes undetected. More often than not, symptoms of mercury toxicity are misdiagnosed as numerous other conditions by doctors, unexperienced with the toxic effects of mercury exposure. If you suspect you, or a member of your family, may have been exposed to mercury at the Ashta Chemicals facility, contact us to open an investigation into your exposure.

The symptoms of exposure to toxic chemicals are varied and often appear after the incident of exposure. The amount of the chemical that one has been exposed to will determine which symptoms occur and when they manifest. To further complicate detecting exposure, Mercury only remains detectable in the body for a period of 30 to 90 days before specialty tests are required. Additionally, Mercury exposure can lead to a wide variety of physical and psychological symptoms.
