Organic chemistry should probably be made mandatory as part of high school science education like physics. Parent looks like Exhibit A for anti-thiomersal hysteria.
It is not? I had at least 2 years of organic chemistry at high school (Czechia).

Mercury amalgam (silver, tin, zinc, copper, etc) fillings.
There is a strong correlation between incidence of mercury amalgam and alzheimer's. Obviously correlation is not causation, but I'd still be wary of putting mercury in my body...

I don't think that is a very good example. A better example would be is there a safe compound with lead or arsenic or mercury (known toxic elements) you would want to take into your body?

I'm not deep in a hole "living in fear," I just got the resin and don't have to think about it anymore.
The resin fillings don’t last nearly as long. You’ll need a replacement down the road. I’m going on 40 years or so with my mercury filling.
