Doctors for Minamata Disease Treatment in Srikakulam

Minamata disease is a serious illness caused by mercury poisoning, usually from eating fish and shellfish contaminated by polluted water. It can damage the brain and nerves, leading to numbness, shaky movements, trouble speaking or seeing, and in severe cases, lasting disability. It was first found in Minamata, Japan, after factory waste polluted the sea.

People with minamata disease may notice symptoms such as sensory disturbances, ataxia and peripheral neuropathy. A medical evaluation can help determine the nature and severity of the condition and whether treatment or ongoing monitoring is needed.
