Metal fume fever is an acute, self-limiting illness that occurs due to inhalation of metal oxide fumes, particularly zinc oxide, which can be generated during welding, cutting, or heating of metals. The condition is characterized by a flu-like set of symptoms that typically appear several hours after exposure to the metal fumes.
