Today, we’re learning about the toxic methylmercury in fish that we eat! It’s important to not eat too much, especially if you’re pregnant, to prevent cognitive defects and immune systems issues. It occurs with processes called biomagnification and bioaccumulation absorbing the toxin into fatty tissues. Thanks!!

I like talking about our awesome planet, doing engineering, and making music. And of course, DRAGONS!!!🐉🐉🐉

So certain fishes particularly larger ones if eaten in large amounts can be teratogenic

Awesome yah biomagnfiication is really cool wish I could go into the exact stats and equations, but not enough time

Thank you. Very interesting content, I was particularly intrigued by the concept of bio-magnification.
