Actually, hair testing is not well thought of.

By you?? Or by the WORLD experts on Mercury Poisoning?

National Institute for Minamata Disease

The National Institute for Minamata Disease was established in 1978 to
carry out medical studies on Minamata Disease. The institute's
Department of Clinical Medicine engages in clinical research to study
Minamata Disease and treatments, carrying out medical examinations as
necessary.

National Institute for Minamata Disease of Japan studies on the
mercury-pollution in developing countries. Hair is clearly the most
suitable material for estimation of methylmercury exposure.

We collect hair samples of inhabitants living in a doubtful mercury-
polluted area in developing countries to determine the mercury content
in the samples.

And everything on their web page is about *methylmercury*.

Furthermore, the symptoms of Minimata Disease are nothing like autism.

Finally, the amount of methylmercury you'd have to take in every day
to get Minimata Disease, even in the most sensitive adults, is
equivalent to an average daily intake of at least 150 micrograms per
day.

Even if ethylmercury were as bad, which it isn't, that's equivalent to
getting six thimerosal-preserved injections *every day*.
