The Bad Girl's Quick Transmigration System: Traveling Back and Forth

Long-term exposure to mercury will have serious and adverse effects on the body of Qi Wang Liu Yuan in many aspects.

From a physiological perspective, the mercury-based nail polish Liu Yuan uses and the mercury-containing tongue and lip rings she wears will cause serious damage to her oral and digestive systems.

First, people often inadvertently touch their mouths with their hands in daily life. Liu Yuan's fingernails were painted with mercury-containing nail polish, which made it easy for mercury to enter her mouth through her fingers. Once mercury enters the mouth, it comes into direct contact with the oral mucosa, causing a series of health problems.

Secondly, the tongue and lip rings Liu Yuan wears also contain mercury, which means her oral mucosa is constantly exposed to this harmful substance. If this continues for a long time, the oral mucosa will be irritated and damaged, leading to stomatitis.

The symptoms of stomatitis vary, including swollen and bleeding gums, loose teeth, and a distinct metallic taste in the mouth. These symptoms not only cause Liu Yuan physical discomfort but also affect her normal diet and speech.

In addition, if mercury enters the digestive system, it may damage the gastrointestinal tract, causing symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. In severe cases, it may even lead to mercury poisoning, causing irreversible damage to various organs in the body.

Once mercury enters the digestive system, it acts like a ruthless destroyer, rapidly eroding the gastrointestinal mucosa. This corrosive substance can cause serious damage to the lining of the gastrointestinal tract, triggering a series of uncomfortable symptoms.

First, the victim may feel nauseous, with their stomach churning as if a strong force is stirring. Then, vomiting becomes a common reaction, as the body attempts to expel the harmful mercury. However, this is only temporary relief because the mercury has already begun to wreak havoc in the gastrointestinal tract.

Abdominal pain is also a prominent symptom, which may range from mild discomfort to severe pain. Diarrhea can also occur, as the body loses its ability to absorb water and nutrients, leading to loose and frequent stools.

If this situation continues, long-term mercury corrosion can cause more serious damage to the gastrointestinal tract. Gastrointestinal ulcers may form, which are the result of the failure of the damaged mucosa to repair itself in time. Ulcers can cause increased pain and affect normal digestion.

More seriously, there is also an increased risk of gastrointestinal perforation. When an ulcer penetrates the gastrointestinal wall, it can cause severe peritonitis, a life-threatening condition that requires emergency treatment.

In addition to its direct effects on the gastrointestinal tract, mercury can also indirectly affect digestion. Due to gastrointestinal damage, appetite can decrease significantly, and victims may lose interest in food or even feel nauseous at the mere sight of it. This can lead to malnutrition, in which the body cannot obtain sufficient energy and nutrients to maintain normal physiological functions.

Over time, the body gradually loses weight and becomes weaker. Lack of nutrition weakens muscles, weakens the immune system, and makes you more susceptible to various diseases. Your overall health is severely affected, and your quality of life is greatly compromised.

One of the serious hazards of mercury to the human body is respiratory damage. Mercury is volatile and quickly evaporates into mercury vapor even at room temperature. In the luxurious palace where Liu Yuan lived, the air was likely filled with this mercury vapor.

When Liu Yuan was exposed to such an environment for a long time, her respiratory tract would continuously inhale these mercury vapors, which would strongly irritate and damage her respiratory tract, causing a series of uncomfortable symptoms such as coughing, sputum production, and chest pain.

If this situation persists, the mercury vapor could potentially trigger a more severe chemical pneumonia over time. This could cause Liu Yuan to experience rapid breathing and even difficulty breathing. This would not only severely affect her respiratory function but also reduce her body's oxygen supply, negatively impacting the normal functioning of various organs throughout the body.

The kidneys are one of the body's important excretory organs, responsible for filtering waste and excess water from the blood and excreting them. However, when mercury enters the body, it is primarily excreted through the kidneys. This means the kidneys have to bear an additional burden to process these harmful substances.

Long-term exposure to mercury can cause serious kidney damage. Mercury gradually accumulates in the kidneys, causing toxic effects on the renal tubules and glomeruli. The renal tubules are the tiny tubes responsible for reabsorption and excretion, while the glomeruli filter the blood. When these structures are damaged, the normal function of the kidneys is affected.

In the early stages of kidney damage, symptoms such as proteinuria and hematuria may occur. Proteinuria refers to an abnormally high level of protein in the urine, while hematuria refers to the presence of red blood cells in the urine. These symptoms may not be obvious, but as the disease progresses, kidney function gradually declines.

If kidney damage is not treated promptly, it may eventually develop into kidney failure. Kidney failure is a serious condition in which the kidneys no longer function properly and are unable to effectively remove metabolic waste and excess water from the body. This can lead to a buildup of toxins in the body, triggering a range of complications such as edema, high blood pressure, and anemia.

Edema is caused by the inability of the body to excrete excess water, and patients may experience swelling in areas such as the eyelids and ankles. Hypertension is caused by the kidneys' inability to regulate blood pressure, leading to elevated blood pressure. Anemia is caused by the kidneys' inability to produce enough erythropoietin, which affects red blood cell production.

Kidney failure not only has serious consequences for your health but can also be life-threatening. Therefore, people with long-term mercury exposure should undergo regular kidney function tests to detect kidney damage early and receive prompt treatment. At the same time, people should avoid mercury exposure as much as possible to protect their kidneys.

Neuropsychiatric damage to the nervous system is a serious problem, especially when mercury, a neurotoxin, is involved. Mercury is damaging to both the central and peripheral nervous systems, and long-term exposure to mercury can have numerous adverse effects on the human body.

Like Liu Yuan, she began experiencing symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, insomnia, and memory loss. These symptoms not only affected her daily life but also negatively impacted her decision-making and thinking abilities. She may have difficulty concentrating, her thinking becomes slow, and she even has trouble with simple tasks.

Over time, Liu Yuan began to experience tremors in her limbs. Initially, these tremors might be subtle tremors in her fingers, but they gradually developed into tremors in her hands, head, and even her entire body. These tremors severely affected her normal activities, such as writing and handling objects. She might find her hands becoming unresponsive, unable to accurately perform fine movements.

More seriously, mercury poisoning can also cause ataxia, a loss of balance and coordination. Liu Yuan may find herself walking unsteadily, prone to falling, and even having trouble standing. This condition would not only cause significant inconvenience to her life but also increase her risk of injury.

Damage to the nervous system can not only lead to various physical problems but also serious mental disorders. Like Liu Yuan, after suffering damage to her nervous system, her mood became extremely unstable, and she was often troubled by emotions such as irritability, anger, depression, and anxiety.

These emotional fluctuations made Liu Yuan extremely sensitive and suspicious, and she began to harbor unwarranted suspicions of those around her. Whether it was the palace maids, eunuchs, or other officials, she was filled with suspicion, believing they might harm her or harbor ulterior motives. This unfounded suspicion not only affected interpersonal relationships within the palace but also severely disrupted the overall ruling order.

As her illness worsened, Liu Yuan's mental state deteriorated. She began experiencing psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions, which caused her behavior and cognition to deviate significantly from normal. She might see things that were not there, hear strange voices, or become convinced of absurd beliefs. These symptoms prevented her from exercising her powers and duties as King of Qi, significantly impacting the governance of the country.
