Texas Welding Fumes Lawyer
If you have been exposed to
welding fumes, you may have been exposed to
manganese. This heavy metal can damage the part of the brain that controls deliberate body movements, such as walking, speaking and swallowing.
The resulting injury is called
manganism, and it is a type of '
secondary parkinsonism,' which means it is like Parkinson's disease in its symptoms and effects on the brain. You may even have been diagnosed with Parkinson's when your illness, in fact, is actually manganese poisoning.
Although the injury to the brain is almost always permanent, the symptoms can be treated.
Symptoms or side effects of manganese poisoning, also called manganism or parkinsonism, include:
- Lack of facial expression, staring
- Slow or slurred speech or difficulty speaking
- Difficulty writing
- Difficulty swallowing or eating
- Muscle stiffness, aches, pains or cramps
- Tremors or shaking
- Shuffling or difficulty walking
- Poor balance
- Poor memory
