Worker's Nasal Polyp Linked to Lacquer Fumes Removed

Imagine a worker who breathes in paint fumes at his job.

Over time, a big growth, like a grape, started growing in his nose.

This growth caused him a lot of pain and made it hard to breathe.

Doctors discovered this growth, called a nasal polyp, was connected to the paint fumes.

They also found a fungal infection.

Because the worker also has diabetes, it could be very serious.

Doctors had to perform surgery to remove the growth, which prevented the condition from becoming even more dangerous, such as damaging his eye or brain.

This shows that it's important to get checked by a doctor if your nose keeps causing you problems.
