The gloves were more permeable than expected.

Yeah.
Blame it on the mayo.
Every time something goes bad,they bring out the mayo!
"It was the bad mayo..," they say.
Well listen up: It ain't the Mayo!
It was the fish!
Fish live in the water. Somebody poops, it goes in the water! So what are fish swimming around in, maple syrup?
Eat all the Mayo you can. Put it on a salad, a hamburger, some cole slaw, potato salad...
But you should never put it on fish-- because you shouldn't eat fish to start with!
Trust me,
Mayo's good for you; its got vitamins and minerals and other good things...

But mayo tastes worse than the fish.
I don’t care how gooood it is for you.
Your question is actually a very good one.
Metallic mercury isn’t really all that poisonous, as all of us who played with gobs of the stuff at home and in science class back in ‘70’s and earlier know.
On the other hand, organometallic mercury compounds are pretty much uniformly very poisonous, and mercury vapor will react with organic compounds in the body if inhaled to form hideously poisonous organometallic compounds, and it’s mercury vapor that the “greens” hornswaggled the Feds into forcing on us in those nasty lightbulbs.
As the article explains, selenium acts as defense against the mercury poisoning, by combining with the mercury and flushing it from the system. This is the exact same scenario that was found with arsenic, when the left was running their “arsenic in the water” scare campaign, but was ignored by the pseudo scientists who were hired to write the government position paper on arsenic in the water.
As a matter of fact, they used the exact same tribe, with the weird diet to prove the harmful effects of arsenic in the water, all the time knowing that the two states with the highest arsenic levels had the lowest rates of bladder cancer. I happen to read the Harvard arsenic study at the time, before it was finished, and noted that the overwhelming bulk of the data ran counter to the conclusions about the dangers of arsenic in the water, but they chose to focus on the one study that might prove their preconceived premise.
Ow! That hurt, just reading about it!
Di-hydrogenoxide must be banned! It is the leading cause of global warming. If you drink too much of it, it can kill you. People immersed in it for more than a few minutes die a terrifying death. When on roads especially in cold weather even in small quantities it often causes terrible car accidents.
At least not as well as the Obama administration understands it. The net effect of these regulations is to make it more economically favorable (or less unfavorable) to use alternative energy. Since AE can't compete with generated electricity on a level playing field,the administration is trying to make generated electricity (just like oil) more expensive.
