Thimerosal: or thiomersal, is a mercury compound used mainly as a preservative in vaccines for its antiseptic and antifungal properties, depends what were the symptoms you experienced when exposed, was it only a local reaction that lasted for a day or two after receiving a vaccine, that's the most common, or a generalized reaction, unlikely from from thimerosal, probably from other vaccine ingredients,
