Guest guest Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 The preservative is thimerosal. It was widely used in contact lens solutions until a few years ago too. > last night i was watching fox news and there was a story on a preservative in vaccines and flu shots. i don't remember the name of it but they said that it is 50% mercury by weight. also it was said that legislation to ban the preservative was introduced but it has been watered down a number of times so that it now reads, will not be used only in children under two and pregnant women. so if you are getting your flu shot, and you have high mercury levels, maybe this is why. just FYI. > > joanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
