Many of us have a hard time finding the right words to describe the different symptoms from zinc poisoning. Some people feel like they are having a mild case of zits, others just feel like they have a full-blown case.
As I mentioned, your symptoms may vary from one person to the next. I know I had a few different types of zits from time to time. I think one of the things that makes it hard to diagnose is that some people can have only one type of zit, while others can have a few different types.
One of the most common symptoms is that you can easily get zits on your hands, face, or even in your mouth. If you get a very small quantity of zinc, you most likely won’t even feel a thing, though you could still get a rash and even the occasional fever. If you get more zinc than you can handle, however, you could feel a burning sensation in your mouth, sometimes even a red rash.
I’ve heard of several people who have experienced the same thing and have had to get zinc poisoning symptoms out of their mouths by swallowing the liquid that comes out of the can. I think the best solution seems to be to avoid drinking denture creams, a lot of which contain zinc. That said, you can still get a rash and a fever from the zinc and also a few other symptoms, such as headache and weakness.
I’ve never heard of a single person who has gotten zinc poisoning from denture cream so it’s worth noting that the symptoms are pretty mild. It’s not an immediate problem and you can try a different denture cream (or even zinc tablets), but I would avoid any creams that contain zinc.
Most denture creams do contain zinc and it seems that most people don’t know that. As a result, they use it in ways they shouldn’t. Ive never heard of a denture cream that contains zinc in the first place.
The most common cause of zinc poisoning is from eating too many of the little metal particles in denture creams. Those particles are also found in mouthwash, foods, and even some prescription drugs. These particles can be released as a result of eating zinc-rich foods, such as chicken and beef, which are typically high in zinc.
As a result of eating too much meat, zinc can be released into our bodies through the digestive system. This can cause a wide range of symptoms, including diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and a variety of other digestive imbalances. It also can cause nerve damage, skin irritation, bone loss, and increased blood clotting. The most common form of zinc poisoning is from taking a denture that has been on the cutting edge of technology for too long.
So many denture wearers have been told that denture cream is a miracle cure, when in reality it’s a poison. But it is a poison, and for those of us who love the taste of a nice fresh-tasting mint, this is definitely one of those cases. And while it’s not exactly a death sentence, it could mean a permanent dent in your denture-loving self.
The effect is pretty mild, but people can still have an allergic reaction to zinc, which can include rashes, hives, vomiting, and even skin rashes. The usual course of treatment is to discontinue use of the denture cream for at least a week, which could include the use of a cortisone cream, and even the use of a zinc-depleting tablet if your denture is particularly sensitive to zinc.
