Signs and Symptoms of Exposure
Symptoms of systemic copper poisoning may include: capillary damage, headache, cold sweat, weak pulse, and kidney
and liver damage, central nervous system excitation followed by depression, jaundice, convulsions, paralysis, and coma.
Death may occur from shock or renal failure. Chronic copper poisoning is typified by hepatic cirrhosis, brain damage and
demyelination, kidney defects, and copper deposition in the cornea as exemplified by humans with W ilson's disease. It
has also been reported that copper poisoning has lead to hemolytic anemia and accelerates arteriosclerosis.
