Mercury exposure is one of the many types of chemical substance exposures that can cause serious problems. People who have been exposed to mercury can feel nausea, headaches, and fatigue, as well as damage their kidneys, brain, and liver.
In order to avoid mercury exposure, it is important to be able to identify mercury. It can take the form of a metal, liquid, or vapor. While its states vary, the most dangerous form is the compound methylmercury.
Another avoidance measure is to stay away from places that commonly contain mercury. These include power plants that burn coal, volcanic areas, and any area with a liquid mercury spill.

Dr. William Olmsted was accused by a second family of acting inappropriately in providing child psychiatry services Friday. The family members alleged that during a 2005 session Olmsted took off his pants in front of the daughter.
Although the daughter’s parents stopped sending her to Dr. Olmsted and filed a complaint with the Texas Medical Board, the state agency never followed up on the case.
The child psychiatrist pleaded no-contest in a 2006 indecency with a child case, but was still allowed to continue practicing. Public and state lawmakers have confronted both the child psychiatrist and the Texas Medical Board about the allegations.
