Some may argue that Jeremy Piven was poisoned, but he actually wasn't. In the article it states, " A person with no symptoms, no changes physically or chemically, we just say they've been exposed and have a high mercury level." Just because you have been exposed doesn't mean you were poisoned because there is a difference between being exposed and being poisoned. Piven was exposed because in the article it addresses that "tests revealed Piven has mercury levels five to six times higher than normal." Piven wasn't poisoned because it is standard that person exposed to mercury will have high mercury levels, but he has no other physical or chemical change.

I believe that the authors claim is to inform you on what mercury poisoning is and what is the treatment for it. For example the author, Jeremy Piven states, " there are three kinds of mercury . Depending on what the exposure is, you could have different symptoms and disease states." Clearly the author is informing you on what mercury poisoning is because he is telling you that there is three ways you can get poisoned. Furthermore the author states,"chelating agents make metals more water soluble so they can be excreted by the kidneys." Here the author is informing you on a treatment that can be given to you so you can fight of the poisoning. Overall the main purpose of is article was to inform you about mercury poisoning.

The author does say that Jeremy Piven did have a strong seafood diet and he did have mercury levels five times higher than the usual however he didn't show any of the symptoms from mercury poisoning he most likely to have mercury exposure. In the text the author states, " 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." From this we can infer that Piven was exposed to high levels of mercury but he lacked the symptoms to prove that he was poisoned. If he was poisoned he would have been suffering from neurological problems, infertility, and heart rhythm.

In the article, The author really doesn't make a claim, he was just trying to bring awareness to the matter of mercury exposure and show the big difference between mercury poising and mercury exposure. The author states, "Just because you're exposed to a toxin doesn't mean you get poisoned." The author is trying to argue that being exposed to something does not mean you have been affected by it, you just have been exposed. He also claims, "A person with no symptoms, no changes physically or chemically, we just say they've been exposed and have a high mercury level," the author is stating that when you have been exposed to something, you haven't been poisoned or affected by it until your body shows physical of chemical changes.

The author tells you the difference between mercury exposure and mercury poison,you see that Jeremy Pivin doesn't have mercury poison because he doesn't show the symptoms to suggest he has it. He had a very high level of mercury about 5-6 times as much as normal. This shows that he might not have gotten poisoned but has been exposed to it. The medicine he used probably increased his mercury levels because he didn't know what was in it. In conclusion he has been exposed to mercury for a longer period without knowing it but was most likely his medicine.

I believe that Jeremy Priven did not have Mercury poisoning because there is a difference between mercury poisoning and mercury exposure. In the article it is stated that "his level of mercury was uncharacteristically high, one of the highest we have seen". Doctors confirmed that Priven did show high levels of Mercury in his body, but no where did they state any symptoms of the Mercury making any changes to his body. Which makes me think that he was not poisoned by the mercury, but rather just exposed to it. The article also states that " payout can build out to a blood or tissue level but nit yet manifest symptoms related to poisoning... It doesn't become poisoning under the true definition unless someone has had a physical or chemical change in his or her body." This makes me conclude that Priven was not poisoned by any of the three Mercury types( Elemental, Salts, or Organic), because if he was poisoned, he would had showed symptoms such as problems with his Kidney, trouble seeing or hearing, or any other symptoms of the common flu. I agree with you that Pivet did not have mercury poisoning because he showed no physical or chemical change, just high mercury levels. It is clear that he only had mercury exposure.

I think Jeremy pivin is not poisoned but exposed. It's more that he is exposed because in the beginning of the article his doctor took him of a fish diet because the levels of mercury were "five to six times higher than normal". According to what it said before this quote it said nothing about showing symptoms. To have poisoning you need to show symptoms but Jeremy only showed high levels of mercury.

I think Jeremy wasn't poisoned because on "Mercury Exposure vs. Mercury Poisoning" it states " A person with no symptoms, no changes physically or chemically, we just say they've been exposed and have a high mercury." This shows that the doctor was right he has a high level of mercury but doesn't mean he's poisoned. Also another quote stated was "his doctors say test revealed Piven has mercury levels fixe to six times higher than normal , and has ordered a fish-free diet and rest" this would be a counter argument someone opposing me would say but actually it just proves that they only talk about high mercury levels but no symptoms or chemical/ physical changes. That is why I believe he was only exposed not posioned.

I think Jeremy Pivin did have mercury poisoning because although they didn't mention whether or not he had the symptoms, he still blamed it on his diet and herbal products. In the subheading "Mercury poising and fish", it states "there are certain types of fish that can accumulate higher levels of mercury than others. If you exist on a diet of fish, then you can mount some very Hugh levels." This supports Jeremy's statement because he and the doctor both said that he had a very High sushi diet. The article also states that "herbal medicine outside the country can potentially contain toxic quantities; it depends where they're coming from and how they're being made." Jeremy announced that he used herbal medicine and that's another contribution for mercury poisoning.

I think Piven does not have mercury poisoning because there is not enough evidence to say so. He blames the rich sushi diet and the use of herbal medications but it doesn't tell us were the herbal medicines come from nor does it tell us what the sushi diet was. I believe he was just exposed to the mercury because it did not tell us symptoms that effected Piven. In the paragraph describing herbal remedies it says, "Herbal medicines outside the country can contain toxic quantities." This quote tells us if it is from outside the states, Piven didn't tell us where he got his herbs from. Also in the symptoms article it tells us how someone poisoned would feel and how their systems are damaged. He had no physical damage.

In the article, "What is Mercury Poisoning", the reader is introduced to actor Jeremy Piven and whether or not he has mercury poisining. Evidences proves that he was. Piven had taken up a diet that was high in fish. Many types if fish have a high level of mercury within them. They accumulate high levels of mercury in their body by either feeding off of other fish that are exposed, or being exposed itself to mercury. Since Piven consumed an abundance if fish, he also consumed the mercury within in. It was also said that Piven enjoyed Chinese Herbs. The text states,"Herlbal medicines made outside the country can potentially contain toxic quantities." Since these out of the country herbs are not controlled by the FDA, they most likely contain some toxins since the don't have to meet a standard. Piven had a diet consistent of Chinese herbs. With the consumption of both fish and out of the country herbs, it is most likely that He experienced mercury poisining.

Jeremy Piven did not have mercury poison, he was just highly exposed to high amounts of mercury. According to the article, Mercury Exposure vs. Mercury Poisoning, it states "that a person with no symptoms, no changes physically or chemically, has just been exposed to high levels of mercury." Since he had no symptoms or chemical or physical changes, he only has exposure to mercury and not mercury poisoning. Jeremy Piven just blamed a "mercury-rich sushi" for his high levels of mercury. This "mercury-rich sushi" diet may be to blame for his high counts of mercury. I agree 100% with what Mary said, because Jeremy Piven didn't have effects of mercury poisoning, but effects of mercury exposure.

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." In fact Jeremy Pivin did not show any of these symptoms plus he did not have a record of him having this and his doctor didn't say anything about it either.

Jeremy Piven wasn't poisoned by mercury he was exposed. The article says he was in a diet which was high in fish or Chinese herbs, but both could have mercury and consuming both could have a higher chance of being poisoned or exposed. Jeremy wasn't poisoned in order to get poisoned your body needs to have a physical or chemical change which he didn't have nor did he have any symptoms.

Mercury poisoning is untreatable, and will damage your body insides. Article says ," This disease can give you many problems like the kidneys, heart ,and your ability to move." Basically I agree with this statement because it's makes us picture the damages inside and out in minutes. The article says," Mercury Posion can effect your feeling like very tired." This is important because it effect us physically.
