Mercury and autism

We know that mercury exposure can damage the central nervous system, causing headaches, colitis, renal failure, and more. Now it appears that the ethyl-mercury preservative thimerosal-still used in Canada in multi-dose flu vaccines-may be linked to the incidence of autism, which has increased over the past decade. Recent studies conducted in California and Texas suggest, although findings are limited, enough evidence exists to prompt further research into the potential link between mercury and autism.
