Doubtful; the primary way that mercury and lead are excreted is through your fingernails and hair.


But that happens at a very slow pace. Where do the mercury and lead spend time until they are excreted? The only answer I was able to get from people who are supposed to know is "all over", "in the cells", "in the blood" and similar meaningless answers.

I have yet to find anyone who has an idea about how it is actually distributed through the body.
