Abstract

During September 1995-May 1996, the Texas Department of Health (TDH), the New Mexico Department of Health (NMDH), and the San Diego County (California) Health Department investigated three cases of mercury poisoning associated with the use of a mercury-containing beauty cream produced in Mexico. The ongoing investigation has found this product in shops and flea markets in the United States located near the U.S.-Mexico border, and a U.S. distributor has been identified in Los Angeles. The cream, marketed as "Crema de Belleza--Manning" for skin cleansing and prevention of acne, listed "calomel" (mercurous chloride [Hg2Cl2]) as an ingredient and contained 6% to 10% mercury by weight. This report presents findings of a continuing investigation by these health departments, the Arizona Dept of Health Services (ADHS), California State Department of Health Services (CSDHS), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and CDC.

摘要

1995年9月至1996年5月期间，得克萨斯州卫生部（TDH）、新墨西哥州卫生部（NMDH）以及圣地亚哥县（加利福尼亚州）卫生局对三起与使用一种在墨西哥生产的含汞美容霜有关的汞中毒病例展开了调查。正在进行的调查发现，在美国靠近美墨边境的商店和跳蚤市场中发现了该产品，并且已在洛杉矶确定了一名美国经销商。这款面霜名为“Crema de Belleza--Manning”，用于皮肤清洁和预防痤疮，将“甘汞”（氯化亚汞[Hg2Cl2]）列为一种成分，按重量计含汞量为6%至10%。本报告介绍了这些卫生部门、亚利桑那州卫生服务部（ADHS）、加利福尼亚州卫生服务部（CSDHS）、食品药品监督管理局（FDA）以及疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）持续调查的结果。
