Jeremy Piven Quits Play After Suffering Mercury Poisoning

December 19, 2008

There are constant warnings that pregnant women should go easy on eating fish because the stuff often contains mercury at levels that could harm a developing fetus. But I never thought fish posed a real hazard to non-pregnant adults. This week, Entourage star Jeremy Piven was forced to quit a Broadway play after his health problems were tied to extremely high mercury levels. Funny that this would occur within days of the FDA contemplating advising the public to eat up to 12 ounces of fish per week. Link.
