A Woman Needs a Fish Like a Bicycle Needs ... Oh, Never Mind One in five U.S. women have high mercury levels, suggests new report <...>
This may lead to an explanation about the autism spike seen in children over the last so many years. A 10 percent increase in California was noted in one study a year or two back... similar increases elsewhere in the U.S.
===== Thimerosal/Mercury Mercury in Vaccines Updated: 08/17/2005
Toxic mercury exposure has a wide range of adverse health effects. Currently in the United States there is a public health effort to reduce human exposure to mercury from all sources. (1)
What is thimerosal, and why is it in some vaccines? Thimerosal is a compound that is 49.6% mercury by weight. Although it is not used in all vaccines (for example, it is not used in measles-mumps-rubella or chickenpox vaccines), it has been part of the manufacture of many vaccines since the 1930s.
<...> Does thimerosal in vaccines pose a risk to infants? When pregnant women eat foods or take medicines that contain mercury, the mercury can be transferred to the developing fetus through the placenta. Infants can be exposed to mercury through foods, including breast milk, or medicines.
Developing fetuses and young children are believed to be more susceptible to mercury exposure than adults because mercury can interfere with the developing nervous system. <...> http://www.immunizationinfo.org/thimerosal_mercury_detail.cfv?id=3
