Manganism and Parkinson’s Disease Lawyers


Welding rods may contain as much as 20-25% manganese. Manganese is an essential element needed in the body for good health, but over-exposure to manganese may cause manganese poisoning resulting in serious diseases such as Manganism and Parkinson’s Disease. Both of these diseases may seriously damage

 
  • Lungs
  • Heart
  • Liver
  • Kidneys
  • Central nervous system


 

 

 

A Washington University research team has found that some welders developed Parkinson's Disease an average of 10-15 years earlier than the general population. They suggested that this might be related to inhalation of manganese present in welding rod fumes s. The study further noted that welding could also increase the risk of early onset of Parkinson's Disease.

The symptoms of Manganism and Parkinson’s Disease may include:

 
  • Tremors in hands
  • Rigidity in hands or legs
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Balance difficulties when walking
  • Loss of memory
  • Loss of desire to talk
  • Irregular handwriting
  • A feeling of weakness


 

 

 

 

Manufacturers of welding rod fumes s have known for decades that welding rod fumes s may cause serious health issues, but they continued to manufacture this dangerous product and failed to warn the people who use it - welders.
