it depends on how much mercury youve been exposed to. if it was a lot, then yes, you may possibly have long-term affects. go see your doctor if you are unsure. i hope you are OK.

yes, see the 1st link
i know the degree of your poisoning depends on the type, duration or the poisoning and the age at which this happened, the truth is that mercury injures your nervous system and that is why such a wide array of diseases can be attributed to this type of poisoning.
so if u have any of these it may be cause by the mercury.
Also, if u go to a health food store u will find a variety of DETOX and CLEANSING products for different organs, i would recommend a blood and liver cleanse. If your immune system is healthy, then u can do these detoxes, but not all at the same time. They may help with getting the mercury out to some degree (as it never leaves your body), and if not, then it is still very benificial for your body anyway.
Also try a juice diet for a day or two, make fresh juices (at home, using a juicer) and just drink these all day, and water, no food. this is a great form of detox.
and in general it would do u good to drink several(2-3) cups (8 oz each) of juice per day

Yes indeed it can - particularly on brain fuction.
A simple but effective way to help rid your body of
toxic substances like this and / or heavy metals...
EAT LOTS OF ONIONS OR GARLIC. LOTS. Onions and garlic help to dissolve and cleanse such substances from your system. You might smell awful bad and be justa touch anti-social. However, you'll be doing your body one BIG favour.
