How many atlantic canned albacore tuna fish sandwiches of an average size (two slices of bread, pickles, light mayo) will I need to eat to get mercury poisoning?
Hypothetically Speaking, how many would i have to eat and for how long?
 
the mercury risk in tuna varies depending on where the tuna came from.. and its not always in the tuna.. sometimes its there sometimes its not..

you would have to be eating a hell of a lot of tuna to be poisned... and even then.. mercury poisoning is still rare.. u would have to eat alot of shell fish as well as alot of tuna..

i'd say if u are eating 3 cans of tuna daily then that is alot.. and u should cut down.

if u are eating 4 - 5 cans of tuna a week then that is perfectly fine.. plus a weekly servering of salmon or other fish.. then that is fine
 
It isnt happening unless you eat them all day every day for your entire life. A sandwich here and there is nothing. Health nuts are the people worried about this, and to trying not to expose yourself to mercury is impossible. It is found in minute amounts in all kinds of food, not just tuna.
