One possibly obvious way would be to reduce or cut someones intake of Tuna. Especially the canned stuff.
If I've ever seen people saying they eat it, (I don't), I tend to apply a conservative approach and say that if they do, consider the Mercury risk, and perhaps consume it once every 2-3 days.
I've heard some medial people saying 1 can a day long term, isn't a problem, but I don't think I could completely agree with that.
I thought for some time recently about why I suggest this 1 can every 2-3 days approach, and summised that some people, especially some big bodybuilders, (who may eat 2-3 cans a day blerch), clearly must be able to tolerate Mercury in some way, as it doesn't cause a severe negative reaction straight off, like say Stomach Cramps, Diarrhoea, or Vomiting.
However I considered to myself, that like a lot of things in peoples diets, Methylxanthines, Fats, Sugars etc etc, that can create addiction and withdrawal symptoms from regular ingestion, Mercury might therefore do the same, possibly from as little as 1 can a day of Tuna.
I don't know if this is actually possible, to create a synopsis where the body could create an addiction to Mercury in that way, but if so, I wouldn't like to imagine the withdrawal symptoms someone could get.
