"Orders of magnitude higher" levels of mercury concentration sounds bad, but is it high enough to be concerning? How much of that mercury would be left in a tea bag?

The mercury may be bound somehow to the seaweed in a way that prevents it from being absorbed when the seaweed is consumed although steeping it in boiling water may leech it out. Ethyl mercury contaminated water is something to be avoided entirely.
