10 Mercury Poisoning Symptoms
8. Tremors
Tremors are described as involuntary movements of the body. They can be caused by fear, nervousness, extreme muscle tiredness, and even a fever may cause chills which are a form of involuntary muscle contraction to generate heat. On the other hand, other medical conditions like Parkinson’s disease, alcoholism, and other toxicities may cause tremors as well.
Muscle tremors are a common finding associated with organic mercury exposure. This is most commonly seen in methylmercury toxicity after chronic exposure to contaminated fish. This is a sign of nerve involvement and it should be evaluated by a medical professional as soon as possible to prevent further complications.
