Not been active lately which means that wife is OK. Away from lungs, does anyone have any knowledge about "Pink disease".

Hi LissacFrance

Pink disease is now rare, but adults who had pink disease are more sensitive to mercury and may have a number of other health complaints. Related to Mercury poisoning.

Thanks for your reply. Now rare and unless you are 67 or older not likely to be concerned. My wife was a Pink baby and wonder what effects, if any, might still be evident after all this time.

A few more links which may be of help to you;

Also regarding Ancestry: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl...

Hope you are both keeping safe and well.
