  This disease is called "cotton pneumoconiosis" and we may classify these occupational lesions into four types: 1) byssinosis; 2) chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); 3) cotton fever; and 4) cotton pneumoconiosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Many operators working in such departments experience a typical illness, referred to as “stripper's asthma” or “cotton-mill fever,” an insidious disease characterized initially by evidence of upper respiratory irritation with moderate fever. [pubs.rsna.org]

  But no matter whether responses caused by inhalation of dust are inflammation or allergic reaction, cotton dust is foreign stimulation on deposited sites, causing lung fibrosis after lung stimulation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Prolonged inflammation leads to scarring that permanently affects lung function. [healthhype.com]

  Typically these medications include bronchodilators like those used to treat asthma—in more serious cases where lung inflammation has developed, corticosteroids may be needed to decrease airway swelling. [oxygenconcentratorstore.com]

Thus, the bactericidal treating of raw cotton showed high efficiency as a potential method of byssinosis prevention. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention Eliminating exposure to textile dust is the surest way to prevent byssinosis. Using exhaust hoods, improving ventilation, and employing wetting procedures are very successful methods of controlling dust levels to prevent byssinosis. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

What Preventive Measures Can Be Taken to Prevent Byssinosis? Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has been enforced with preventive measures for the well-being of cotton and textile industry workers. [icliniq.com]

This will prevent breathing problems from becoming severe. It will also prevent further damage to your lungs. Prevention Controlling dust, using face masks, and other measures can reduce the risk. [healthing.ca]
