She didn't show signs of mercury poisoning before she left, ate loads of fish for months, developed symptoms and was diagnosed with mercury poisoning. It's entirely possible she has a lower renal clearance and it just hasn't been an issue so far, maybe it was from another source, maybe she went to the doctors at the slightest of symptoms, maybe it was an incidental finding. Maybe the doctors were wrong and you're just a lot more qualified to talk about this specific case. Who knows.
It is not easy to go from healthy background levels of mercury to mild poisoning in max 700-ish meals.
Each fish in 700 meals would have to be 100x the normal average of mercury, every single one, every single time, for every single meal, consuming up to a kilogram of fish in each meal.
It wasn't fish, it's more complex.
I'm quite aware we're discussing a real human, your friend.
If it was from eating fish and I'm completely wrong, I'm sorry. Wish the person a fast recovery as best as possible.
I won't respond any further.
