Bayer made Rhogam that contained 35 mcg of mercury, Bayer in 2003

Petitioned OEHHA to take thimerosal/mercury off the list of
reproductive toxins,

Here is OEHHA reply to Bayer.

OEHHA (Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assesment) reports;

"The scientific evidence that PMA and Thimerosal cause reproductive
toxcitity is CLEAR and VOLUMINOUS.

The evidence for its reproductive toxcitity includes severe mental
retardation or malformations in human offspring who were poisoned
when thier mothers were exposed to ethylmercury or thimerosal while
pregnant."
