I'm working on my PhD in chemistry, and I've heard all the stories, including Karen Wetterhahn. The instant I heard him say "methylmercury" I knew this patient was royally screwed. Organic mercury compounds are so wildly dangerous. Especially since they can diffuse so easily into skin, blood, and organs. So irresponsible of that company.

@spvillano 10 дней назад

Not irresponsible, that would suggest a potential error, this is far more likely to be criminal in nature. To name names, a lot of Chinese products that are illicitly brought into the US are notorious for lead, methylmercury and more. Kids toys routinely get recalled due to lead paint, despite the PRC passing laws prohibiting that being used. Then, there was the melamine in the milk scandal, killed thousands, tens of thousands with badly damaged kidneys, the PRC finally checking when the body count got noticed globally and only then did they find the managers responsible for the fraud and executed them.

The soils were clearly from a marsh of some sort and had a very noticeable metal tint to them similar what youd expect from an oil spill. I refused to do a total solids test until we got results back from our metals lab, which was standard. My boss was pissed, he's not a chemist and ran the lab about as well as you'd expect from a business man. Sure enough when the results came back they were extremely high in a variety heavy metals including mercury. Our TS test was just drying soils in our oven which would have likely caused my and my coworkers to get exposed to mercury and whatever else some corp decided to dump into the earth to save a buck.

The reason it felt like that is because of cerebral fluid leaking or something. I didn't lose conscience and I still remember them happening. I was skiing on ice and lost my balance and fell hard on my forehead at a fast speed.(my skull caused the ice to crack 😂 and fall down the mountain lol) The Dr who treated me told me that he was shocked that I didn't crack my skull nor lose conscience. That was one time. I'm lucky to still be alive and I'm also hard headed. After having my concussions I had dreams that my computer was being fixed I was fixing it myself.I was trying to delete some files but they were unable to be deleted. I knew what that dream meant.
