i had three cans of tuna

thats it

is """""mercury poisoning""""" a meme?

i have been eating at least 12 cans of tuna per week, and i eat salmon and swordfish regularly. been doing this for like a month and a half now and i have experienced zero negative side effects. it is the light tuna if that makes a difference, but still, i was always told to eat fish sparingly for risk of mercury poisoning and that the maximum should have been 4 cans per week. i tripled that and eat other seafood on top of that and no symptoms after a month and a half. surely something would have showed up by now?

before you ask why i eat so much canned tuna its because it is absurdly cheap where i live. a club pack (12 cans) costs me $5 and that is a week's worth of lunches for me
