In cases of suspected<unk>  poisoning, penicillamine is the drug of choice, and dimercaprol, a heavy metal chelating agent, is often administered. Vinegar is not recommended to be given, as it assists in solubilizing insoluble<unk>  salts. The inflammatory symptoms are to be treated on general principles, as are the nervous ones. There is some evidence that alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) may work as a milder chelator of tissue-bound<unk> . Alpha lipoic acid is also being researched for chelating other heavy metals, such as mercury.
