Metal fume fever also known as brass founders' ague, brass shakes[1], zinc shakes, Galvie Flu, or Monday morning fever[2] is illness caused primarily by exposure to certain metal fumes. Chemicals such as zinc oxide (ZnO) or magnesium oxide (MgO), often cause this through breathing fumes created by heating or welding certain metals, particularly galvanized steel.[3] Chromium[4] is also a hazard, from stainless steel. Cadmium,[5] present in some older silver solder alloys can, in extreme cases, cause loss of consciousness within a matter of minutes. Iron itself, and so most simple steels, does not give rise to it, nor does aluminium.[citation needed]

Symptoms
The symptoms are nonspecific but are generally flu-like including fever, chills, nausea, headache, fatigue, muscle aches, and joint pains. A sweet or metallic taste in the mouth which distorts the taste of food and cigarettes is also normally reported along with a dry or irritated throat which may lead to hoarseness. Symptoms may also include a burning sensation in the body, shock, no urine output, collapse, convulsions, shortness of breath, yellow eyes or yellow skin, rash, vomiting, watery or bloody diarrhea or low blood pressure, which require prompt medical attention.[6] Milder flu-like symptoms will normally disappear within 24 to 48 hours, and someone suffering from metal fume fever will usually feel well enough to return to work the next day, despite the fact that they may still be feeling a little bit under the weather. It often takes 4 days to fully recover.




Me and my buddy were welding an access panel for his remote mounted turbo in the back of his car and we really didnt have any ventallated air so that night and the next day is when it really started to kick in,,,

Trying to source out a sheet of mirror, I talked to soem people in my shop and they're extremely confident that they are going to be able to waterjet the mirrors, there will be a slight sandblast around the edge but that can be covered with a trim gasket,,,
Also trying to find a place thats willing to replicate the mirror bodies,,,
