Mercury Fillings May Be Affecting Dentists
 (London, Reuters Health, 4/30/02)

Dr. Ewan Macdonald of the Glasglow Royal Infirmary in Scotland and team studied 180 dentists and found that they had higher levels of mercury in their hair and nails and were more likely to have kidney disorders. The dentists also did not perform as well on tests of psychomotor skills, response times & word recall as the control group. While this study does not prove a direct link between mercury and the noted health conditions, it raises questions for further research.
