Significance of mercury in sardines or salmon (alaskan)

[Guest guest]

Hi, just wondering if anybody knows how significant mercury levels

are in these fish? Some say they are the lowest in mercury,

therefore should be ok to consume. I had some salmon the other day

out of a can (from alaska) and I admit I had coffee at that time too,

so I don't know what to attribute my symptoms too exactly. But I

felt very bad the next day. Drugged.

I'm still suffering and often feel like going to sleep. I also went

paler in the face. I'm still waiting for this to subside and hope it

does soon. Each day I keep wanting to lie down and go to sleep.

It's been about 4-5 days now.

It could have been the coffees I had, but I wonder too about the

canned salmon.

anybody else experience this? I admit I am hypersensitive to

mercury, even at levels most other people are tolerant of, plus don't

tend to respond well to coffee either. So it's quite possible it was

either or both. But just wonder what other people think.

Cheers.

---------You have been given a link in another post, and I will mention again

that there are links in the Links section of the group. And my understanding is

that the small fish like sardines are supposed to be lower in mercury, and that

wild Alaskan salmon is much better than the farm raised stuff.--------Jackie

The big fish like tuna, shark, and swordfish are usually much higher in

mercury, because they eat all the smaller fish with mercury in

them.-------Jackie

---------I think anytime you suspect a mercury exposure, extra Vit C is always

a good idea.-------------Jackie

-------------I have also thought that I felt worse after eating fish

sometimes, so honestly, I hardly ever eat it at all anymore (much to my

husband's dismay!). So this will have to be a personal decision on your part.

If you test it again, only eat a small amount, and see what

happens.----------Jackie
