Mercury, the only metallic element that is a liquid under standard temperature and pressure conditions, is widely utilized in many industries and processes. It has been used as a component of dental amalgam since ancient times and is found in fluorescent tubes and thermometers.

Mercury toxicity symptoms are many; mercury poisoning takes a heavy toll on the body, affecting the neurological and central nervous systems, as well as the gastrointestinal, immune, neuromuscular, and cardiovascular systems.

A wide variety of symptoms is attributed to toxicity resulting from mercury amalgam. This list includes but is not limited to:

• Headache, fatigue, loss of concentration, irritability, depression, insomnia, and dizziness
• Diverticulosis, stomach cramps, bloating, loss of appetite, and gastrointestinal disturbances
• Muscle fatigue and tremors, sciatic and chest pains, leg cramps, joint pain, and tachycardia
• Oral health problems, such as bad breath, blisters/sores, tender teeth, and bleeding gums

Multiple studies have reported on both the symptoms associated with mercury toxicity and the likelihood of treatment to mitigate the effects of mercury toxicity.
