Only if the exposure was recent would this should on standard tests such as a blood test. A biopsy would show retained mercury; but your doctor or specialist will almost certainly refuse to perform a biopsy for this purpose. We're way behind on anything related to heavy metal toxicity because the Dental lobby spent a lot of money on politicians making sure research on the topic wasn't funded. A lot of the best research was done, therefore, in the former Soviet Union.
