Fortunately, after a week of hospitalization, her pulmonary symptoms enhanced, and she was discharged. She was given oral treatment with dimercaprol, a drug that helps remove heavy metals from the body, for nine months. However, her urine mercury levels displayed no significant changes during this period.

Ten months after the incident, the patient had no adverse effects on her kidneys, digestive system, or nervous system, although the abnormalities on her chest X-ray persisted.

Effects of mercury on the body

Mercury is dangerous to the human body. When injected directly into the bl00dstream, it can spread to various organs and lead to damage. In this case, the mercury lodged primarily in the lungs, leading to difficulty breathing and coughing up blood. Fortunately, the patient did not grow damage to other organs such as the kidneys or brain, which can happen in cases of mercury poisoning.
