Rust can harbor Tetanus if it is found in the environment like a barbed wire fence or rusty nail.  The ill effects of Tetanus are from the exotoxin secreted by Clostridium tentni, a bacteria.  This needs to enter your bloodstream rather than ingesting it to cause serious troubles.\n\nRust itself out in the environment is ferrous oxide.  That found in water is mostly in the form of ferrous hydroxide.  If you ingest a little rusty water as it comes out of the tap, there is no problem.  But like virtually anything else if you make it a regular diet and ingest a lot of rust then you can overdose.  \n\nOverdose amounts are about 0.5mg/kg of body weight (2.2lbs per kg).  The effects of toxic doses of iron are characterized by initial depression, rapid and shallow respiration, coma, convulsion, respiratory failure and cardiac arrest. Diarrhea and vomiting also occur. \n\nCheck out the link below which goes into more detail if you need it.

I'm a RN who has taught Nursing for over 20 years in numerous clinical settings.  I am so sorry to hear about your father's health problems and I understand your concern about how to best manage the symptoms medically.  You have described his lab results and present symptoms very well.  Except for the constipation which can be quite easily managed, the remainder of his symptoms are significant CNS symptoms causing his brain dysfunction.  I agree with his doctors' provisional diagnosis based on the medical/clinical information you presented and also encourage you to facilitate chelation therapy  for your dad as soon as possible.  BAL is a harmless compound used for binding the mercuric ion to it but the therapeutic usefulness of BAL depends on its immediate administration at the acute onset of the mercury poisoning.   I think that it would be no longer useful for your dad.  I believe that your dad is experiencing chronic mercury poisoning  and Penicillamine may well be the drug of choice.  Penicillamine can be administered orally and appears to chelate mercury selectively, with considerably less effect on copper, which is essential to many metabolic processes.  Your dad's copper level was borderline low so you would want to preserve as much copper as possible which Penicillamine does.  Penicillamine has an advantage of being well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and promotes the excretion of mercury in the urine.  N-Acetyl-dl-penicillamine is even more effective than Penicillamine in protecting against the effects of mercury on the brain, probably because it is more resistant to metabolic degradation, and it has the advantage of being less toxic.  I'm not as familiar with the use of DMSA or DMPS as chelating agents for mercury removal from the brain.  Also you did not mention your dad's kidney function.  Mercury is highly toxic to the kidneys and I suggest that the functioning of his kidneys be evaluated.  I also suggest that your dad be assessed by a neurologist as soon as possible if that has not yet occurred due to the serious CNS symptoms that your dad is presently experiencing.  I wish your dad God's blessings and healing touch.  Good luck to you.

No, not really dangerous, unless a splinter gets infected.  But worthy of a kinky online website dedicated to you?  OF COURSE!

rust is actually iron deposits from contact with  water and oxygen and iron is metal which can cause sparks but its not really dangerous your microwave wont explode like it does in the hollywood movies but i do suggest you get a new one if its a bad case of rust such as the entire side or even half the side of the microwave i dont think that all that iron could be good when it gets on your food.

Infection is always a risk. I've had mine done for years and have never had a prob. Go to a clean reputable place and ask if they disinfect their tools. (I know you don't want to seem like a snob asking this, but your health is more important)

errrrrrr Oxygen, hence rusting is stricly called oxidisation.  But perhaps you should inform your questioner that Water is actually made up of Hydrogen and Oxygen, therefore some of the answers are obsolete.\n\nThink about the fact that metalwork inside a waterproofed building goes rusty as well as that outside.

Yes it's the same element,except that in the human body it's an ionized form,not a metallic form, only traces are required or else it would cause severe poisoning causing CNS and liver malfunction.

it doesn't sound safe. I don't even know what it is. But if you have to ask, the answer is no.\n\nhuffing kills your brain.

Lacking more detail - my suspicion is that the release of H2 will cause the amount of aluminium to be to high...\n\n-dh

You can find many heavy metal detoxes at all health food stores and YES very high links to autism. Why take the risk, and I certainly would not listen to our medical profession, we are a very sick nation, just look around you, every one has allergies, viruses, constipation, arthritis, heart disease, cancer etc.... this should not be the norm.\nI never visit doctors any more and have never been healthier, you can do everything yourself with diet and supplements.\nCheck out the book immunizations are they really safe and effective. Shocking!!!

"The nutritive composition of a hot aqueous extract of wild Ganoderma fruit bodies was determined. This extract was assessed for cytotoxicity and in vivo genotoxicity by both acute and subchronic exposure of mice (given by mouth at a dose equivalent to extract of 220g fresh Ganoderma fruit body/kg body weight). To test any alleged protection against mutagens by Ganoderma treatments, the mice were injected intraperitoneally with the radiomimetic mutagen ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS), and after 24hr of treatment their lymphocytes were examined using the comet assay. Ganoderma extract consisted of Folin-positive material (68.9% of dry weight), but protein comprised only 7.3% of dry weight. Glucose accounted for 11. 1% and metals 10.2% of dry weight (K, Mg and Ca being the major components with Ge (often touted as being of value in sales literature for Ganoderma preparations) having the fifth highest metal concentration at 489 microg/g). In comparison to rodent chow, Ganoderma extract was a modest dietary supplement. No evidence was found for genotoxic chromosomal breakage nor cytotoxic effects by Ganoderma extract in the mouse, nor did it protect against the effects of ethyl methanesulfonate. We found no support in this study for the extract having any value in protecting against the test mutagen.\nPMID: 10717357, UI: 20183650" (1)\n\nSince the fungus has been used for 2100 years to treat both liver disease and diabetes, and the most effective treatments of both have been discovered only in about the last 50 years, I'd wait until more studies were done, and any healing components of the fungus described, extracted and purified before I'd count on it. Really, they didn't cure hepatitis or diabetes very well 1000 years ago!

My father manufactured the active ingredient in agent orange,(C-5,6), at Hooker Chemical's Montague Michigan plant for the duration of the Vietnam War. The process was so volatile and so toxic that it had to be manufactured on a seven story wall-less superstructure in the middle of a 160 acre field. All of the production was then loaded on railway tankcars for shippment to Dow Chemical of Midland Mi.for addition of solvents and packaging for shipment to the military. At the close of the war, the superstructure was dismantled, and it, and all associated equipment, tools etc. were buried in a huge clay lined disposal pit on the site. The site remains a Toxic hot spot to this day and all of the surrounding neighborhood has water piped into them as the groundwater is highly contaminated. From '82-'93 my father ran a chlorine plant's maintainence department on the persian gulf, about 25 kliks from Kuwait City in Saudi. In 1997 he fell ill with the small cell cancer that has become consistent, though unrecognized by our government, as due to exposure to AO or its components. I know this as I was a service officer for the Am Legion Post here in my  town, and have seen the wreckage that this stuff left in its wake. I am an Non Combatant, US Navy, Vietnam Era vet, ( Commonly refferred to as a "rear echelon puke" ), who salutes and thanks you for your service. Hope you are well, and look forward to your Photo posts as you are quite knowledgeable on the subject. God Bless, Jed

First of all, ignore the post above. Chelation and oxygenation are for recent damage, usually caused by direct physical injury, and has only minor impact on recent biochemical injury... and note the word "recent." It has NOT been shown effective on Autism, and might do your son more harm than good. Even if it did help older injuries, the poster assumes your son's Autism was triggered by immunization. One cannot just assume that... While the incidence of Autism increased because those with the predisposition to have it were more frequently triggered by the mercury in the immunizations, Autism has been around since the beginning of time.\n\nIt is very difficult to ensure specialized care for any major disorder in rural areas. You may need to visit urban areas regularly in order to find the best care, especially medical, for your son.  I would like to suggest the following to help you get started. It is also important, once you get there, to find other parents dealing with Autism in their children, and learn from those already there.\n\nhttp://www.bbbautism.com/canada_contents.htm\nhttp://www.tvcc.on.ca/gateway.php?id=65&cid=4\nhttp://www.autismsociety.on.ca/\nhttp://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2004/11/15/autism_lawsuit041115.html\nhttp://www.children.gov.on.ca/CS/en/newsRoom/newsReleases/050404.htm

This is an Internet myth.  Lead in pipes (water pipes)_ is a hazard.  Lead in pipe organs is not.  The law you are worried about does not exist.

alright bitch, u responded to my question on the research for rock lyrics. I LISTEN TO METAL. You went off telling me your life story, and i dont care about it. I just need research to back up the reasons that I have that rock does NOT affect how people are. Im goth, delt with suicide and all the parent bullshit. Do you want, or expect me to feel sorry for you? Next time dont go running your mouth to a person you dont know shit about.

WTF!!! Thats awesome, I've never heard of such a thing but not only do matches contain sulfur, they also contain potassium chlorate which is used as a pesticide and is to be handled with care when mixing other chemicals, which in better terms could be best understood as to why they would "ingest/consume" them. From what I recall, parents of soldiers and marines here in Texas have special request items such as gatorade, magazines, books, cd's ect. wanted by sons and daughters serving in that country they call "Iraq", and one of the top items requested by many of them was suprisingly dog/cat flea collars. I asked one parent and she mentioned they have a problem with the sand fleas and some other insects and so they wear them around the wrists and ankles to solve that problem and to me that would seem like a more safer and SMARTER alternative than to swallow some chemicals not knowing what could happen to them in years later on in life.
