    Erasmus is a semester up to max of one year.
    It is impossible that condition came from eating normal food here, compared to a lifetime somewhere else.

    Take my grand aunt with 102 years of age as an example, she would be a walking pot of mercury by now.
    She ate fish all her life and due to location, way more fish than meat.

    What about me at 50 years old and not even an hint of poisoning. I eat more fish than meat.
    How does that work?

    Here are the numbers for heavy metal poisoning for 2022, ordered by rank and Country:

    I’m very sorry for your friend and wish the best without reservation, but her condition was not from eating fish during a semester in Portugal.
