Farmer's Lung

Farmer's Lung is a type of occupational lung disease caused by inhaling organic dust, often from moldy hay, straw, or grain. When farmers breathe in these particles, their immune system can react negatively, leading to inflammation in the lungs. This condition can cause symptoms like coughing, breathing difficulties, and fever. Over time, repeated exposure can result in chronic lung issues. Preventing Farmer's Lung involves using proper protective gear, ensuring good ventilation, and managing dust exposure in farming environments. Early diagnosis and intervention are important to help prevent long-term health problems.
