There is no natural or home detoxification method for mercury poisoning. People with mercury poisoning need to be examined and tested for mercury poisoning early to receive an accurate diagnosis and timely detoxification treatment if necessary.

Mercury and most of its compounds are extremely toxic to human health, so when using products containing mercury such as thermometers, fluorescent bulbs, etc., we are often advised to be extremely careful, even when throwing them away. Mercury leakage incidents become especially serious in cases where mercury is burned (eg: fluorescent bulb factory fire, etc.) which will cause mercury to evaporate at high concentrations, combined with strong winds to disperse over a large area, greatly affecting human health.

The first signs of mercury poisoning are usually numbness, such as tingling in the lips, fingers, and toes. People who inhale the fumes of this metal often experience difficulty breathing, chills, fatigue, headaches, and possibly fever.

Mercury poisoning can cause extensive damage to the liver, brain, lungs, and nerves. People can suffer acute or chronic mercury poisoning by contact, ingestion, or inhalation of the metal's vapors.
