Could i have mercury poisoning? How do i get rid of it? What are some other symptoms??
Thank you!
 
Mercury poisoning is unlikely but possible. The fish that you need to avoid are shark (sold as flake in fish and chip shops), sword fish and other really big fish. Tuna should not be consumed more than once or twice a week. Mercury poisoning symptoms include memory and concentration problems, nerve problems and a few others.

You can find further information in web searches for "mercury poisoning" + symptoms and "mercury poisoning" + tuna.
 
a small bit of mercury poisoning could cause dizziness, severe vomiting, fever, sweating. If you have true mercury poisoning, you better get to a hospital fast! That's why mercury thermometers (for instance) are Hadley used anymore because of the risk of breakage and mercury poisoning. Although ive never heard of getting mercury poisoning from fish, but if your truly concerned, place a quick call to your poison control center, they will tell you immediately if your in danger, symptoms and signs to watch for. You may have just made yourself sick from bad fish, or too much fish. take it easy, phone your poison control center and you ll be okay. good luck to you.
