Thank you for the link Mark. I read the article but was not impressed.
I would have thought that to be able to reach any conclusions on the effects of Thimerosal on young children, the research needed to be carried out on far more than 60. I would have been more convinced if 600 children had been involved and 6000 would have been even better.

In my own household my brother and sister had no problems with the teething powders. I was the only child, not just in our village but in the whole of the area covered by the local GP, to have such an adverse reaction.

Why did I have such a sensitivity??

We, as individuals, are all different and even as small children react differently to different substances and situations.

Until more substantial research is carried out I cannot be convinced, as you appear to be, that this substance is not detrimental to some children.

I believe that in some children a reaction against such a substance being injected into them at a very young age could cause enough disturbance in brain function as to change behaviour.
