  This allergy causes inflammation in your lungs If detected early, and you avoid the allergy-producing substance, the inflammation can be reversed. [lung.org]

  With more and more exposure, the immune system reacts against the allergic reaction, causing chronic inflammation. The inflammation is a result of white blood cells building up in the walls of the alveoli and bronchioles. [cedars-sinai.edu]

  Other lymphocytes participate directly in inflammation after subsequent antigen exposure. [msdmanuals.com]

• Fatigue

  A few develop lung inflammation during radiation therapy treatment for: leukemia lymphoma lung cancer breast cancer bone marrow transplant prep Symptoms of pneumonitis depends on your cause and may involve: fever chills fatigue dyspnea dry cough air hunger [healthblurbs.com]

  Symptoms of both include cough, fever, chills, fatigue, muscle pain, and loss of appetite 4-8 hours after exposure to spoiled plant materials such as moldy grain, feed, silage or hay. ODTS is also caused by confinement house dust and cotton dust. [agebb.missouri.edu]

  Shortness of breath during exercise, cough, and fatigue, may gradually progress over months or years. Eventually, the disease may lead to respiratory failure. [msdmanuals.com]

  People who develop ODTS will usually recover in a few days and permanent lung damage is not likely to occur with a single exposure, but they may feel fairly sick (fever, fatigue, cough, chest tightness, etc.) for a few days after exposure. [fyi.uwex.edu]
