What symptoms are associated with flavoring chemicals exposure?
Symptoms include cough (without phlegm) and shortness of breath on exertion. Other symptoms include fever, night sweats, and weight loss, as well as eye, nose, throat, and skin irritation. Symptoms typically do not improve even when a worker spends time away from a factor or plant that produces, uses, or processes flavoring chemicals. While there may be a gradual reduction of cough years after exposure, shortness of breath on exertion persists. Symptoms range from mild to severe, and are generally gradual in onset and progressive (although severe symptoms can occur suddenly).
