Can mercury damage the peripheral nervous system causing neuropathies?

I really haven't seen this mentioned. I watched a video on youtube

that showed neuron degeneration in the brain leading to alzheimers when

mercury was introduced. The depiction showed mercury binding to

receptor sites in the building blocks of the nerves and instead of the

nerves building like normal they fell apart. I guess something like

that is what happens in peripheral nerve damage? Or if it wasn't the

cause it could at least hinder the healing and rebuilding of the nerves?

Here's the link incase anyone hasn't seen it. I thought it was very

interesting.
