The author is trying to make mercury poisoning less obscene for the common person by informing them of what exactly mercury poisoning is. The author does this when he states the different types the mercury there are and the difference between being exposed to mercury and having mercury poisoning. The author talks about this in order to better inform the reader on the subject of mercury poisoning, he is trying to inform people because he himself has been exposed to a high dosage of mercury. The author also discusses treatment for mercury poisoning and how one attains mercury poisoning by eating fish or through herbal remedies. The author discusses these topics because the way he obtained being exposed to high levels of mercury is through his "mercury-rich sushi diet and possibly use of herbal medicines" so the author knows first hand what it is to have to go through that, so he uses his experience to inform people of the different ways of getting exposed to mercury. I agree with you because he was only exposed to it and even though the mercury levels were higher than normal he didn't show any signs of having mercury poisoning like chemical or physical changes.

In the section of the article called: Mercury Exposure vs. Mercury Poisoning, it states that, "it doesn't become poisoning under the true definition unless someone has had physical or chemical changes in his or her body." In the article it only stated that Jeremy Piven's results showed he had "mercury levels five to six time higher than normal," but no where in this article does it say that Piven had a physical or chemical change in his body. Jeremy is exposed to mercury not poisoned by it. I agree with this because it's true that Jeremy did not show any physical signs of being poisoned by mercury, they only saw that he had high levels

Jeremy Pivin did not have mercury poisoning because he had not shown any sort of physical or chemical change. In the paragraph, "Symptoms of Mercury Poisoning," it stated , "The nervous system effects are what someone would see first." This proves that Jeremy Pivin did not have met user poisoning because there was no record of his nor the doctor saying that Pivin had any physical or chemical change. He would have gotten some type of symptom if he had always used Chinese herbs or ate mercury-rich sushi. "His diet, which is high in fish, or Chinese herbs, which he's been a fan of in the past." Poisoning symptoms should have already shown if both the sushi and herbs were high in mercury. The high level of mercury only show that he has sometime of exposure. I agree with you because Jeremy was exposed to high mercury levels but had to changes according to the true definition of mercury poisoning and I like how you included the different types of poisoning and he did not have those symptoms.

Jeremy Pivin might have had mercury poising because he blames a mercury-rich sushi diet and the use if herbal medicine. As stated in the second to last paragraph, Mercury poisoning and fish, it states, " There are certain types of fish that can accumulate higher levels of mercury than other. If you exist on a diet of that fish, you can mount some very high levels." This proves that he may have gotten mercury poisoning from the sushi diet because it could have contained high levels of mercury and dieting could have created higher levels. In the last paragraph, Herbal remedies and mercury poisoning, it states, "Herbal medicines made outside the country can potentially contain toxic quantities; it depends where they're coming from and how they're being made." This proves that the herbal medicines affected him because he took the risk of mot knowing exactly what was in the bottle and the toxins could have affected the levels of mercury and increased them. I agree with you Kharoline because he was eating a diet that had high levels of mercury, therefore he is bound to be exposed to mercury. Just because he has mercury inside him, it doesn't automatically make it mercury poisoning unless he shows physical or chemical symptoms.

I agree with you because what the article is doing is giving people the knowledge of mercury poisoning. I don't think it would have been as effective without the use of Piven

In the article "What is Mercury Poisoning" the writer states,"just because you're exposed to the a toxin doesn't mean you get poisoned." The writer is trying to show the differences between being exposed and being poisoned. One of the differences is that if you have gotten exposed you don't have a physical or chemical change but when you get poisoned you do. In the article they never said that Piven had a physical or chemical change on his body so that is why he is not poisoned.

Jeremy Pivin does not have Mercury poisoning just has a high exposure to it. In the article "what is Mercury poisoning" it stated "You can build up a blood or tissue level but not yet manifest symptoms related to poisoning. This is a thresh hold." This shows that even though he has high exposure he does not show cases of physical or chemical changes, another way to show he does not have Mercury poisoning is the true definition of it which is "it doesn't become poisoning under the true definition unless someone has a physical or chemical changes in his or her body." This shows that he is asymptomatic which means he has high blood level consistent with exposure but not real poisoning I agree with Julian he gave good reasoning and what he said seems right and he got what I got I disagree because in the article it says people who have been exposed for a long time could be asymptomatic

You're right that he was on a "mercury-rich sushi diet and the use of herbal medicine" but the article doesn't tell you what type of fish and what the mercury level of the fish is or if he was actually using herbal medicines so you can't be sure that it was because of his diet or not.

I would disagree with you because in the article it just says that things like herbs are uncontrolled in terms of the toxic quantities measured and can cause levels of mercury to go up but does not necessarily make you have symptoms. Same thing goes for the fish, they can cause mercury levels to go up but Jeremy never includes that he had symptoms due to his increase in levels.

The author in, "what is mercury poisoning?" States a lot of different topics on the difference in exposure and poisoning of mercury. As a matter of fact, I come to believe that actor, Jeremy pivon, was not poisoned by mercury but exposed, leaving mercury behind. Meaning he is asymptomatic, "having high blood level consistent with exposure" as paragraph 'mercury exposure vs. mercury poisoning' put it. I come to this belief because the actor never seemed to show any symptoms or physical and chemical changes. Based on the article, in order to be poisoned symptoms have to occur, like: symptoms of the flu, symptoms of anemia, and problems with the kidneys. None of these happen to occur, leaving the actor yet, poisoned free. At the end of the article it does state that fish and herbal remedies carry great about of mercury, but in 'mercury poisoning and fish' it states, "if you exist on a diet of that fish, you can mount some very high levels." I understand it says you can get mercury levels but that doesn't quite mean you are poisoned by it, but exposed.

Jeremy zoivin did not have mercury poisoning. He has had exposure to it, which most people have but i dont believe that he had poisoning because he showed no symptoms. Nor any physical or chemical changes. He proved this in the section called "Mercury Exposure vs. Mercury Poisoning" when he says, " A person with no symptoms, no changed physically or chemically, we just say theyve been exposed and have a high mercury level." Meaning that you can be exoosed to mercury but that is different than being poisoned. And he also says, " Just because youre exposed to a toxin doesnt mean you get poisoned" once again proving that exposure doesnt mean youre poisoned. There us a fine distinction between the two.

In the paragraph describing the difference between Mercury Exposure vs Mercury Poisoning it states that, "You can build up a blood or tissue level but not yet manifest symptoms related to poisoning." This proves that, in Jermy Pivin's case, he did not have poisoning because their were no explicit details referring to poisoning. What Jermy had was a "thresh hold." While, although, having high levels of mercury he did no under go any "physical or chemical change." I agree with Jordan because the writer didn't give any details about Jermy being poisoned

I agree with you because what the article is doing is creating awareness,but it's not just about the organic mercury the article has so much more to offer

In the Article, the author describes the difference between Mercury Exposure and Mercury Poisoning in which it shows that Jeremy Piven has been exposed and not poisoned with Mercury. The author claims that, "A person with no symptoms, no changes physically or chemically, we just say they've been exposed and have a high mercury level. It doesn't become poisoning under the definition unless someone has had physical or chemical changes in his or her body". That means that unless there are some differences in someone's body, it is not Mercury Poisoning. There is no proof that Piven has gone through body changes in the article. Another claim is that, " Just because you're exposed to a toxin doesn't mean you get poisoned. You can build up a blood or tissue level but not yet manifest symptoms related to poisoning". Exposure is not poisoning and not all exposure can lead to poisoning. That proves that Jeremy Piven was not Mercury Poisoned.
