TLDR
Inorganic mercury is the major mercury species in hair samples, while inorganic and methyl mercury are both about 50% of total mercury in RBC and serum samples, which is in agreement with the data obtained by acidic extraction, fractionation of Hg(2+) and CH(3)Hg(+) and quantification by ICP-MS.About:

The chemical forms of mercury in human hair: a study using X-ray absorption spectroscopy
TL;DR: The mercury is found to be predominantly methylmercury–cysteine or closely related species, comprising approximately 80% of the total mercury, with the remainder an inorganic thiolate-coordinated mercuric species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cinnabar is not converted into methylmercury by human intestinal bacteria
TL;DR: In this paper, a gas chromatograph equipped with electron capture detection and mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to detect the formation of methylmercury after incubation of cinnabar with human intestinal bacteria.

Multielemental contents of foodstuffs from the Wanshan (China) mercury mining area and the potential health risks
Xiaoyan Wang,Xiaoyan Wang,Yufeng Li,Bai Li,Zeqin Dong,Liya Qu,Yuxi Gao,Zhifang Chai,Chunying Chen +8 more
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the concentrations of different elements, including Hg, Pb, Cd, Mn and Se in foodstuffs and to estimate the potential health risk of these elements via consumption of polluted foods in the Wanshan Hg mine area.

Plasma mercury levels in Hong Kong residents: In relation to fish consumption
Peng Liang,Yan Yan Qin,Chan Zhang,Jin Zhang,Yucheng Cao,Sheng Chun Wu,Chris K C Wong,Ming Hung Wong +7 more
TL;DR: Fish consumption rate was significantly positively correlated with MeHg concentrations in plasma, which demonstrated that plasma could be a biomarker for human MeHG exposure.

The toxicology of mercury--current exposures and clinical manifestations.
TL;DR: Whereas removal of certain forms of mercury, such as that in blood-pressure cuffs, will not cause increased health risks, removal of each of the three major sources described in this article entails health risks and thus poses a dilemma to the health professional.

The Chemical Form of Mercury in Fish
TL;DR: The primary dietary source of neurotoxic mercury compounds is via the ingestion of methylmercury species accumulated in fish, which has been linked to neurological damage (Minamata disease) and increased risk of myocardial infarction.
