Erethism Mercurialis and Reactions to Elemental Mercury [PDF]
Cutis, 2021 Mercury is an underrecognized cause of heavy metal poisoning. Typically, mercury exposure occurs though consumption of methylmercury in seafood or acute inhalation of elemental mercury vapors, with other routes of exposure being uncommon. We describe a case of mercury toxicity resulting from intentional injection of liquid mercury into the right ...
