Mercurialism, Hydrargyrid

Mercurialism and Hydrargyria are terms used to describe mercury poisoning. Mercury is a heavy metal that can be found as a liquid metal or vapor in industrial processes and in nature. Mercury poisoning can occur from misuse of mercury products, from working with mercury in an industrial environment, or from consuming food and water contaminated with mercury.

Metallic mercury is well absorbed by the skin and walls of the digestive tract, and its vapors can easily penetrate the human body through the lungs. Symptoms of acute mercury poisoning are: vomiting, severe abdominal pain, diarrhea accompanied by the release of blood in the stool, and kidney damage, leading to disruption of the process of urine formation. With chronic mercury poisoning, a person's oral mucosa becomes ulcerated, teeth fall out, loss of appetite, intestinal and kidney diseases are observed, accompanied by the development of anemia and increased nervous irritability.

Dimercaprol is used to treat mercury poisoning. Dimercaprol is a chelating agent that binds and removes mercury from the body. However, in case of chronic mercury poisoning, treatment involves removing the person from areas of possible contact with mercury, and additional treatment of symptoms caused by poisoning may be required.

Mercury poisoning is a serious disease that can lead to serious consequences for human health. Therefore, it is necessary to take precautions when working with mercury in an industrial environment, use mercury products correctly and consume only high-quality food and water. If you suspect mercury poisoning, see your doctor as soon as possible.

Mercurialism is a term that describes the phenomenon where a person takes excessive care of his appearance and physical health.

In some cases, hydrargyria can lead to dehydration, so it is important to monitor the amount of water you consume and avoid drinking too much.

Mercurialism and Hirargiria are very dangerous diseases caused by mercury, called metal miasmas. Mercury can enter the body through a variety of ways, such as inhaling fumes, ingesting liquid metal, or eating foods that contain this toxic substance. Clinical manifestations of Mercurialization and Hydrargy may vary depending on the dose and duration of exposure to mercury in the body. The most common symptoms are vomiting, kidney failure, nasal irritation, metallic taste in the mouth, intestinal damage and even paralysis.

Treatment for mercury poisoning relies on removing the toxic metal from the body through regular use of mercury-removing medications such as dimercatol or monomethionium. It is important to take precautions when working with mercury and other metals and use personal protective measures. Mercury poisoning can be very serious and cause serious health damage, so
