I.B.M. Families Ask, ‘Why?’

“Many of the damage suits brought against I.B.M. by individuals claiming to have been harmed by chemicals in the workplace involve birth defects suffered by the children of employees.

    This is an interesting story… last night I was reading how a high school near here had shut down due to some students finding vials of Mercury. I remember finding vials of mercury in our junior high, and our science teacher and us playing with it, squooshing it about. Times have sure changed.

    whoa–that’s scary. how are you feeling these days? i know a lot of people who blame the mercury in their fillings for serious health problems. some of my own problems seemed to begin right about the time i got a lot of silver amalgam fillings with mercury in them, but i’m just guessing. if you have any autoimmune disorders or mysterious ailments, you should do some research on mercury poisoning and see if the symptoms match. good luck, and let me know how it goes!
