| thimerosal |
A preservative which contains nearly 50% ethyl mercury by weight. The FDA estimates that throughout the 1990s it was used in more than thirty licensed vaccines and biologics marketed in the US. During this time the vaccine schedule for infants included as much as 187 mcg of mercury in the first six months of life--far exceeding levels accepted as safe. Many symptoms of ASD closely resemble those of mercury poisoning. It is no longer used in most vaccines.

| thixotropy |
tendency of grease or other material to soften or flow when subjected to shearing action. Grease will usually return to its normal consistency when the action stops. The phenomenon is the opposite of that which occurs with rheopectic grease. Thixotropy is also an important characteristic of drilling fluids, which must thicken when not in motion so that the cuttings in the fluid will remain in suspension.
