Traces of DMSA on fingers a problem?

[Guest guest]

I didn't realise that when I was emptying the DMSA capsules for my

husband's chelation I was possibly rubbing some traces of it on my

fingers. I thought about this only because two days into his

chelation, I felt nervous shocks near my collar bone which I used to

feel many years ago, and which had come back after some tooth

extractions last year and then slowly stopped.

I have not started chelation myself yet and was waiting to make sure

it was safe for me to begin.

I was wondering if I have inadvertently absorbed trace amounts of the

DMSA and am reacting to it. I was told I did not have any more mercury

in the mouth but I do have a cavitation under an extracted root canal

which had a nickel post. I also have been feeling a little 'out of

sorts' since a few days before he started chelation, and have to force

myself out of that mood.

How does one go about emptying the capsules without harming oneself?

It may have been ok if I were going through this exercise every 4

hours, but it was every 8 hours!
