Has any connection been found between mercury in fish and Parkinson's disease?

Asked by skfinkel (13542points) April 24th, 2013

Just wondering if anyone is aware of any research on this subject. Why are we told to stay away from eating fish with mercury—will it affect older people, children, and/or pregnant women?

I have also heard that mercury causes neurological damage, but I do not have any specific knowledge of research. I suppose more would be available on Wikipedia and health sites.
