Welding Rods Side Effects – Parkinson’s & Cancer

Welding Rods contain manganese, which is released into the air in fumes and dust when the rods are heated. Exposure to manganese fumes or dust for 2 months or more can cause Parkinson’s disease, or a similar condition called Manganism. The symptoms of Parkinson’s disease are:

Tremors or trembling in the hands, arms, legs, and face

Stiffness or rigidity in arms and legs

A fixed gaze or blank face

Slow body movements

Changed gait caused by abnormal muscle tone (dystonia)

Difficulty walking and with coordination and balance

Manganism can sometimes be reversed if caught in the early stages, but can’t be cured if it progresses to later stages. Anyone experiencing the early stages of the symptoms listed above should seek medical help immediately. Other warning signs include:

Inability to perform routine tasks as quickly as usual

Fatigue

Short-term memory loss

Insomnia

Headache

Muscle cramps

Loss of appetite

Anxiety

Diminished libido or impotence

“Locura manganica” (manganese madness), characterized by aggression and an inability to control emotions

Toxic doses of manganese sometimes cause immediate symptoms, including:

Dizziness

Nausea

Vomiting

Upset stomach

Dryness or irritation of nose, throat, and eyes

Fever

Chills

Body Aches

Metallic taste

Asthma-like symptoms

Other side effects of manganese inhalation or absorption include:

Bronchial asthma

Lung fibrosis

Pneumoconiosis or “siderosis”

Lung and nasal cancer

Ulceration or perforation of the nasal septum

Respiratory difficulty

Lung cancer

Anemia

The fumes and dust produced by heating welding rods produce other chemicals that are toxic in high levels and can cause serious side effects. For example both soluble chromium compounds and insoluble nickel are known to cause cancer in humans. Chromium dust can cause skin ulcers and eye burns. Both silicon and molybdenum fumes and dust can cause irritation to the respiratory system, eyes, and skin.

If you’ve been exposed to toxic fumes and dust from welding rods, you should see a heathcare provider to be checked for possible welding rods side effects. If you or a loved one has already been injured by the toxic effects of welding rods, you might be able to recover damages. You should have your case evaluated as soon as you can.
