I know a couple of charter captains that have gotten sores on their hands from the handling of stripers and the sores took a really long time to heal and were really gross. I have caught a few fish with the sores in the past few years, nothing gross like other pictures I have seen, but a few red sores on their side and near their tails.

The story I read of a guy getting mercury poisoning from eating too much striper was crazy. The guy ate it like every day including the meat from the head area which is said to hold much higher concentrations of mercury. His speech became slurred, stuff like that. As another poster said, pretty near impossible for it to negatively effect an adult unless going overboard.
