Mercury Poisoning: Too much mercury is bad for you. The mercury you ingest can get into your brain. For children or babies in the womb it can interfere with their brain development. For adults it can also affect your nervous system giving you trouble with vision, hearing, muscle weakness, tingling sensations on your skin, etc. If you are concerned about your exposure you should consult your doctor.
