Not long ago, my uncle who worked in a nickel factory was poisoned by nickel when he was working. Fortunately, someone found it and sent it to the hospital in time. After treatment, it's all right now. Now I would like to share with you the symptoms of nickel poisoning.

Symptoms of nickel poisoning

First, to make sure that the respiratory symptoms and skin lesions are caused by nickel, we must make a comprehensive analysis according to the occupational history, production environment and occupational epidemiological investigation, with reference to the data of nickel determination in urine or blood, and exclude other causes.

Second: cough, expectoration, chest tightness, chest pain, asthma, chest X-ray showed increased lung markings, patchy shadows, widened lung hilum, workers engaged in nickel electrolysis and electroplating can have rhinitis, loss of smell and perforation of nasal septum, skin damage is more common in exposed parts, the nature of skin lesions is erythema, papule, papular herpes, often itchy, so it is called "nickel itch", The chronic skin lesions are lichenoid or pigmented. After being out of contact, the skin lesions will heal within a few weeks or months. The risk of nasal cancer and lung cancer is increased in workers exposed to nickel for a long time.

Third, the main diseases that need to be differentiated from acute nickel poisoning are upper respiratory tract infection, cardiogenic pulmonary edema and respiratory system damage caused by acute poisoning of other metals and irritant gases.
