About Mangansim

Manganism occurs when an individual has suffered exposure to high levels of manganese. Similar to symptoms suffered by Parkinson’s disease sufferers, manganism affects the central nervous system. A long-term clinical study followed up with the progression of chronic manganism in five patients ten years later and found that the clinical progression in the patients with manganese parkinsonism continued even ten years after exposure to the chemical had ceased.

Indicators of manganism can appear in symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, tremors, muscle stiffness, coordination problems, cramps, impotence, as well as many other Parkinson-like effects. Manganese has a very slow elimination from the central nervous system, allowing the onset and symptoms of manganese exposure, like manganism, to appear much later in life.
