Frequently Asked Questions about welding rod injuries from Manganese exposure by Michael Monheit, Esquire, Monheit Law, PC

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What should I do if I am suffering from welding rod manganism?

Consult your doctor if you believe you may be suffering manganese poisoning. Make sure that your doctor is aware of the similarities between manganism and Parkinson's disease. If you, or someone you love, has been diagnosed with Parkinson's, talk to your doctor about the possibility of manganese exposure. Some doctors may not be aware of the risk associated with manganism. You may wish to consult a specialist who is familiar with manganism, its symptoms and its treatment.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is there a test for manganese toxicity?

Yes. Doctors working with patients who have manganism can administer a test to determine the extent of manganese poisoning, as well as the likelihood that the illness is the result of manganese exposure.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can anything be done to cure the health effects of manganism?

Not yet. The disease can, however, be managed to some extent; although, like Parkinson's disease, there is no known cure at this time. Manganism is considered a chronic condition, in that it remains with the sufferer for the rest of his or her life.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What are my welding rod litigation rights on manganese exposure?

Courts have begun to award damages to those plaintiffs who can demonstrate that their health issues are the result of manganese exposure and toxicity.
