Methylmercury affects the central nervous system in humans — especially the sensory, visual, and auditory areas concerned with coordination. The most severe effects lead to widespread brain damage, resulting in mental derangement, coma, and death (Clarkson and Marsh 1982 USPHS 1994). In mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus), after acute oral mercury poisoning was...

As a result of nuclear weapons testing, mandibles of Columbian black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) from California increased from <9 Bq 90Sr/kg ash weight (AW) to >204 Bq/kg AW between 1952 and 1960 (Table 32.14) (Schultz and Longhurst 1963).

Domestic mminants, especially cattle, are especially sensitive to molybdenum poisoning when copper and inorganic sulfate are deficient. Cattle are adversely affected - and die if not removed - when grazing on pastures where the ratio of copper to molybdenum is <3, or if they are fed low copper diets containing molybdenum at 2.0-20.0 mg/kg diet death usually occurs when tissue residues exceed 10.0 mg Mo/kg body weight. The resistance of other species of mammals tested, including domestic livestock, small laboratory animals, and wildlife, was at least tenfold higher than that of cattle. Mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), for example, showed no adverse effects at dietary levels of 1000.0 mg/kg.
