Patient's question:
Suspect I have mercury poisoning, feeling very uncomfortable with headaches and chest tightness. Can the baby eat breast milk? Will inhaled mercury pass through breast milk to the baby?Doctor's answer:
First, you shouldn't be too nervous about the boiling point of mercury being between 350 and 60 degrees. It does not vaporize at room temperature. Even if it does vaporize slightly, you are still mercury in the thermometer. Under normal circumstances, there is no need to handle anything; just clean the room and let it breathe. You really don't need to be too nervous. Mercury primarily enters the human body in the form of vapor. It mainly harms the nervous system. If mercury (mercury poisoning) occurs, the symptoms also manifest as neurological symptoms. This also makes it easier to distinguish.
