Guest guest Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 For what it's worth, I know nothing for a fact, only that a friend of mine who is very poisoned could not hardly go into a room where they had fluorescent bulbs (which are supposed to have mercury in them) until she got better. I can only guess it might depend on the person. ~inga on 10/22/04 8:08 PM, Donna at donna.arnold@... wrote: > > > Andy, > > A friend of mine is very chemically poisoned, She is having a > filter put in her house that connects to the unit for air > conditioning and heating...Its suppose to be for the cleanest air, > There are four mercury lamps inside this unit that the air will flow > over then into her house.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 The mercury won't leak out while the bulb is intact, but it is a distaster if one breaks.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 That's very interesting. Our son seems to have a problem in places that have mercury vapor lighting. Is it possible to post a little more detailed info on what was happening? What it felt like, etc? I told you your insights were going to be beneficial!

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 No, I really can't. I just told you what she told me. After she started treating herself for Hg and had her amalgams out, she no longer has the problem. So, about all I can say is " food for thought " . I suspect she just had the usual mercury symptoms whtever the are for her. We are adults with poisoning, and for myself I get seizrue like attacks with added tachycardia and feel like I will absolutely not survive. I don't think her symptoms are quite like that. If you really want to persue it further, contact me off line and I can call her and ask if she will describe it in more detail ~Inga on 10/26/04 12:08 PM, Kerbob at robertbloch@... wrote: > > That's very interesting.

For example, SOME florescent lights are okay with me, while others are painful to be in. Go figure. There are a few kinds of eye exercises (or, um, more properly " eye relaxation techniques " ) that can help somewhat. A behavioral optomotrist may be able to add further insight. Mercury poisoning can cause light sensitivity by the way. good wishes, Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
