Cited as the best accessible account of dimethylmercury poisoning, and as an example of the channel's grim medical case studies.

ChubbyEmu’s video [1] on this was quite good. (As is the rest of his channel, if this kind of stuff interests you.) [1] ▶ this video
Just seeing that guy’s face and hearing his voice makes me uneasy. That channel is total body-horror. Glad that guy ended up okay, unlike this poor soul: ▶ this video
Well regarding mercury, it has been phased out of most vaccines in the US and European Union. > "FDA is continuing its efforts toward reducing or removing thimerosal from all existing vaccines." [1] Note to self: don't touch dimethylmercury even with nitrile gloves, it goes right through within seconds. The last person to do so, KW, slowly turned into a vegetable and was ultimately euthanized [2, 3] [1] link [2] link [3] ▶ this video
