blue discoloration of the skin

and fingernails

,

dizzy spells

and

states of excitement

occur.

The consequences of a higher concentration can range from

headaches

and

persistent dizziness

to life-threatening impaired

consciousness

and

shortness of breath

.

Long-term symptoms of poisoning are expressed by a

feeling of weakness

and

loss of appetite

and can also

cause

bladder cancer

.

If the symptoms mentioned are found, owners of the

corona mask are

advised to consult a doctor as soon as possible.
