Yes. While the thought of consuming Mercury may sound dangerous, the fact is that many foods, especially seafood, contain trace amounts of mercury. The amount of mercury present is generally not enough to cause any side effects to most people, though pregnant women should try to limit consumption to avoid harming the fetus.

What if dog licks silver sulfadiazine?

If a dog licks silver sulfadiazine, it may ingest the medication, which can potentially lead to gastrointestinal upset or other adverse effects, depending on the amount consumed. Silver sulfadiazine is generally intended for topical use, and ingestion is not recommended. It's important to monitor the dog for any signs of distress and consult a veterinarian if a significant amount is ingested or if the dog shows any unusual symptoms. Always keep medications out of reach of pets to prevent accidental ingestion.
