10 Side Effects of Zinc
Zinc Side Effect #10: Zinc Toxicity
Countless substances around us are toxic to us. In fact, there’s relatively few that are not. Fortunately, though, their levels of toxicity are so low that the body can easily deal with them, leaving us feeling no ill effects. Zinc is one such substance, although if you do ingest too much of it then you can become very ill indeed.
High levels of zinc in the body can be dangerous to us. Symptoms already mentioned can be severe and, in some cases, the patient’s life can be in danger. Such cases are rare, though, because it will take significant zinc overdose for it to pose a risk to us.
