What are the Treatment Options for Mercury Poisoning?
Treatment for mercury poisoning focuses on removing the source of exposure and managing symptoms. In cases of severe poisoning, chelation therapy may be employed to bind and excrete mercury from the body. Chelating agents such as dimercaprol and DMSA (dimercaptosuccinic acid) are commonly used. Supportive care, including respiratory support and neurological rehabilitation, may also be necessary depending on the extent of the poisoning.
