[edit] Quick Comment
I have looked around the internet to find the following:
It states that the following holds : "A Closer Look at the Chelators
The most common chelators prescribed by the medical profession are EDTA, DMPS, and DMSA. These chelators are life-saving drugs in cases of acute metal poisoning. Of these, the DMSA and DMPS especially carry risks of harm, and should only be used as a last resort. "
Is this true? Does it not deserve mention on the wiki site in case someone tries something not necesarily so intelligent (such as to buy from the linked chemical suppliers page for their own personal mercury removal?). —temp_userbla 23:49, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
