Warning, mercury in vaccines and thermometers can cause autism! Don’t let your children anywhere near those things. I can still remember when I was in the second grade and my teacher called the fire department to clean up a cracked thermometer because she was petrified to go near its mercury based components. I thought that public school teachers had to go to college- I guess not.
The truth of the matter is that methyl mercury, which is found in bottom feeding fish is a neurotoxin, but it is not found in thermometers or vaccines. Ethyl mercury, on the other hand is found in vaccines and thermometers and is not hazardous at all. Unfortunately, educators do not do a good enough job of informing their students of these differences, leaving their students living in fear of such silly things.
