Depends on....: First: notifiy appropriate authority to clarify the mechanism of exposure and prevent further accumulation. If you are diagnosed with high level, treatment is typically with IV or oral dimercaprol or 2, 3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (dmsa). Polythiol is an oral agent for cases of accidental swallowing etc.. Exchange transfusion for severe cases. Best is treatment prevention. Good luck.

Mercury treatment: Treatment of mercury toxicity consists of removal of the patient from the source of exposure, supportive care, and chelation therapy. Patients with cognitive and emotional sequelae may require psychotropic medications.
