What is Indium and where is it found?

Indium is a soft, malleable metal used in electronics, solar panels, and LCD screens. Indium is used in various industrial applications, including the production of indium tin oxide (ITO), which is essential for touchscreens and other electronic devices. It can also be used in certain medical imaging procedures. 

Why do I have an inflammatory reaction to Indium?

Inflammatory reactions to indium may result from exposure to high levels of indium dust or fumes, leading to respiratory issues or allergic responses. Chronic exposure can trigger inflammation due to the body's immune response to foreign particles.
