How much methyl iodide is too much?

Methyl iodide occurs naturally in seawater.

On the Central Coast, we ingest methyl iodide constantly. http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

The question is: At what threshold or concentration does methyl iodide become carcinogenic or fatal?

Many things are fatal at the right threshold. Even water can kill (google "water intoxication").

The issue is the concentration. I need numbers.
