Arsenic

Arsenic is a highly poisonous metallic element registered with the Chemical Poisoning and Environmental Toxicity Centers. Inorganic arsenic deposits in the hair, skin, and nails, and once within the hair follicles, as with most toxic metals, it will stay in the shaft for years. Below are some common sources for arsenic:

  • Animal feed
  • Automobile exhaust
  • Colored chalk
  • Herbicides
  • Household detergents
  • Industrial dust
  • Insecticides
  • Paris green
  • Rat poisons
  • Seafood
  • Wallpaper dye/plaster
  • Water/city and well
  • Wine
  • Wood preservatives

Arsenic is a carcinogen, and those with high levels of arsenic within their tissues are at a high risk for skin, scrotal, liver, lymphatic, and lung cancer. Other symptoms of arsenic poisoning are:

  • Headaches
  • Confusion
  • Drowsiness
  • Convulsions
  • Changes in fingernail pigmentation
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Bloody urine
  • Muscle cramps
  • Convulsions
  • Gastrointestinal upsets
  • Coma
  • Death

"Arsenic is a very poisonous metal found in modern human tissues. High levels of arsenic can create health symptoms such as memory loss, confusion, and lethargy. Because arsenic is a lighter metal, it is easier to remove from human tissues than the heavier metals, such as lead or mercury."
