Why is egg white used as an antidote for lead and mercurial poisoning ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bind organic mercury: It has been written that the first aid for an ingestion of an organic form mercury is to give milk and egg whites to bind up as much of the organic mercury as possible. Presumably, the person would then try to vomit to get the milk - egg white - mercury mix out of his stomach. Not sure if anyone has proven this.
