Why there is no WINDOW PERIOD for DIMETHYLMERCURY?

Resolved Question:

Thanks you for your answer.
Pls. explain me why it is impossible to show the widow periods such like dimethlymercury.
If I know the scientific reason, I could finish my fear for that kinds of myterious toxicant which has the window periods.

As for the metal related toxicant... small amount of metal related toxicants do not harm to body at first, just stay in tissue and cell or organ, there is no symptom, but after being accumulated, people can feel the bad symptom. I know it is not window periods... it is chronicle... repeated exposure.

isn't it impossible for mysterious toxicant (such like dimethlymercury or other metal related toxicants.) to stay in cell or tissue and slowly prohibit the function of cell or organs and finially die...

it is not scientific knowlege based thinking... Because I don't know the biology... irrational thinking is bigger and bigger..

Pls. explain me why such kindls of action is impossible. Thx.

Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
The reason why the action is almost instantaneous is because some amount of biotransformation happens almost immediately. And even that small amount of mercury released in blood stream will have immediate imapct.Every day 1 % biotranformation will keep happening, so there will be symptoms immediately.
The scientific reason is biotransformation. It keeps getting transformed every day at a rate of 1 % in case of mercury. That case you referred to was an isolated event, so can't be the basis for our thoughts.
Your questions are not irrational, definitely logical.
It's good to clear such doubts.
However don't worry about something going on and not showing any symptoms at all, that is not possible. It will show symptoms and over time you will keep getting sick if not treated.
Regards.

So doctor says that no matter new toxicants are made of organic or inorganic compounds, it is impossible to show late death after only one eating or inhaling...we are going to die soon or we are safe? Right? Thank you


Yes there is no way somebody will take in a new compound, show absolutely no symptoms and suddenly die after 3-4 months. If anything is supposed to be fatal, it will cause symptoms almost immediately no matter how trivial they are. Mostly GI or neurologic symptoms.
Regards.
