Symptoms of mercury poisoning may include dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Patients may also experience fatigue, body aches, chills, and fever. The specific symptoms following mercury exposure generally depend on the amount of mercury inhaled. Mercury is a silvery liquid that easily evaporates at room temperature. If a patient inhales only a small amount of mercury, there may be no obvious clinical symptoms.
