Jeremy Piven stricken with “Extreme Mercury Toxicity”
Actor Jeremy Piven (Entourage) 43, has left the cast of the Broadway revival ‘Speed-the-Plow’ after being advised to do so by his doctors. Piven had complained to the show’s producers that he wasn’t feeling well. After seeing a Dr. Carlon Colker, he had “extreme mercury toxicity” and that “a test revealed that Jeremy had the highest level of mercury that he has ever seen, which amounts to six times a healthy amount of mercury, in his system.”
Colker told the Web site that a major symptom of mercury poisoning is extreme fatigue. He also said Piven was having neuro-muscular dysfunction, which resulted in his having trouble lifting his arms and legs, and that he started to feel dizzy.

Anyone know if Mercury causes hair growth? Cause I was watching Grosse Pointe Blank the other day and I swear Piven had WAY less hair then he has now… but seriously though, I hope he get’s better quick, he rocks.
Actually, I think he wears a piece… but, I could be wrong?
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking… one way or another though he’s got better hair then he used to.
