There are still many who think that beautiful and healthy skin must be white, including by using mercury. Whereas mercury can trigger skin discoloration that causes dark spots, allergies, and skin irritation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, the materials found in this mining can also trigger permanent damage to the nervous system of the brain and kidneys. Short-term exposure to high doses of mercury causes vomiting, diarrhea, and kidney damage. In addition, mercury is also a carcinogenic material that causes cancer so it must be avoided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
