Lithium
What is Lithium and where it is found?
Lithium is a soft, alkali metal found typically in mineral deposits and brine pools. It is used in various applications, including rechargeable batteries, mood-stabilizing medications, and certain industrial processes. Lithium is also present in some drinking water sources and in trace amounts in food.
Why do I have an inflammatory reaction to Lithium?
An inflammatory reaction to lithium may occur due to hypersensitivity or toxicity, especially when lithium levels are high. This can lead to symptoms like joint pain, skin rashes, or gastrointestinal issues.
What can I do about it?
Reducing exposure to lithium sources, such as limiting use of lithium-containing products, can help. Ensure regular monitoring of lithium levels if on medication.
