"Sewage sludge disease" = Extrinsic allergic alveolitis
The Canadian government explains the nature and symptoms of the ICD Code 495 group of
lung diseases under its rules. The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety lists
"Sewage sludge disease" as a major concern. It is caused by dust of heat-treated sludge. That
would be our "safest" Class A sludge fertilizer "Milorganite" which has been sold by the City of
Milwaukee since 1926. Sewage sludge disease is one of a group of lung diseases resulting
from exposure to dusts of animal and vegetable origin.
This group of diseases is called extrinsic allergic alveolitis. According to the Centre, "The name, although
complicated, describes the origin and the nature of these diseases:
"extrinsic"-- cause originating outside the body
"allergic"-- caused by the allergic reaction of the body to a specific substance or condition
"alveolitis"-- an inflammation in the inner part of the lungs (alveoli - small air sacs in the lungs)"
The Centre says, "once a person is sensitized, [they] can show three different types of
responses: acute (intense) response, sub-acute (recurrent) response, and chronic (long-term)
response.
The acute attack is triggered by heavy exposure to dust. It starts with fever, muscular aches
and a general, unwell feeling or malaise. These symptoms are accompanied by tightness in
the chest, a dry cough, and shortness of breath.
The sub-acute response occurs most frequently to people exposed to relatively low levels of
dust. It is marked by cough, shortness of breath, sweating, sore throat, headache, and nausea.
The chronic response develops after persistent acute attacks and recurrent sub-acute
responses. Responses are marked by increasing shortness of breath, occasional fever; loss of
weight, and general lack of energy. The victim suffers permanent lung damage and, in the
worst cases, death may occur. " (2)
