Abstract
In Reply.— Dr Swinehart describes a case of mercury toxicity in a child of a furnace operator who worked in a mercury smelter. In Vermont we identified mercury exposure in workers and children as measured by urinary mercury content (Pediatrics 1987;79:935-938). We failed, however, to find clinical cases of mercurialism. As stated in our article, engineering and clothing barriers will help to protect workers and workers' children at home from mercury and other heavy metal exposure.
