book describes Farmers Lungs, Diagnosis and Treatment and Related Diseases</p><p>Farmers Lung is a disease produced by an allergy to the mold in certain farm crops.</p><p>Farmers tend most prone to get it since it is normally produced by inhaling dust from hay, grass, and corn used for animal feed, grain, tobacco or some pesticides.</p><p>Not everyone obtains farmers lung after breathing in these substances.</p><p>It only happens if the patient has an allergic response.</p><p>Farmers lung is an allergy produced by the dust from moldy hay, straw and grain.</p><p>In early stages of the disease, it can appear like nothing more serious than a nagging winter cold.</p><p>If overlooked, the allergic reaction can produce permanent lung damage.</p><p>The patient may be forced to renounce farming and in some cases may experience permanent disability or even death.</p><p>Early diagnosis is important if lasting injury is to be avoided.</p><p>Since farmers lung is featured by cold or flu-like symptoms, the early detection is difficult.</p><p>Many patients will not have any difficulty to consult a doctor due to continuous symptoms.</p><p>When they do, the exposure to moldy crop material is seldom reported to the doctor.</p><p>This can be catastrophic since each exposure raises the injury.</p><p>Farmers who do not consult doctors could burden their families with their illnesses.</p><p>It is also termed extrinsic allergic alveolitis, hypersensitivity alveolitis or hypersensitivity pneumonitis.</p><p>With farmers lung disease, the inflammation happens in the lungs.</p><p>Molds are the main cause of Farmers Lungs.</p><p>When farm crops are kept without adequate drying, they start to heat up.</p><p>Many kinds of mold develop in such environments.</p><p>When a farmer comes in contact with such material (when a large bundle of hay is taken apart) the mold is discharged as part of a very fine dust.</p><p>A farmer who is working indoors may breathe in a large quantity of this dust in a very short time.</p><p>Since the dust is so fine, it goes past defense systems in the nose and throat.</p><p>When the dust arrives at the inner parts of the lungs (termed the alveoli), the lungs internal defense system gets control.</p><p>In most patients, the dust is eliminated without injury to the lungs.</p><p>An allergic reaction to the dust develops in a few patients.</p><p>The patients body believes that the mold is more serious than is actually the case, and starts to attack the dust materials.</p><p>The first exposure in sensitive patients only produces the allergy.</p><p>Every subsequent exposure to the dust activates an allergic response.</p><p>The bodys immune system starts to attack the mold, causing symptoms which may be similar to anything from a cold to pneumonia.</p><p>Scar tissue (fibrosis) develops inside the lungs.</p><p>While cold-like symptoms may resolve, the fibrosis can be permanent.</p><p>Lung injury may be too insignificant to observe in the early stages of farmers lung.</p><p>Each subsequent exposure will raise the amount of lung tissue damage.</p><p>A patient will soon start to observe that they are short of breath.</p><p>At first, this lung injury causes laborious work to be more difficult.</p><p>Even routine works become too difficult after the frequent and repeated exposure.</p><p>Ultimately, the patient may find it an effort to even stand up from a chair.</p><p>It is frequent for farmers to get this disorder from moldy hay and other crops.</p><p>The patient also can get it from dust in substances like:</p><ol><li>Animal dander</li><li>Bacteria</li><li>Bark</li><li>Bird droppings</li><li>Dried rat urine</li><li>Feathers</li><li>Fungi</li><li>Husks</li><li>Insects</li><li>Wood</li></ol><p>These allergens have to be very tiny around 5 millionths meter (5 microns) to involve the patient.</p><p>Dairy farmers are the most frequent patients.</p><p>TABLE OF CONTENT<br />Introduction<br />Chapter 1 Farmers Lungs<br />Chapter 2 Causes<br />Chapter 3 Symptoms<br />Chapter 4
