What about beau’s lines. Can they be a sign of thallium exposure

👉🏿Beau’s lines are typically not associated with thallium poisoning specifically. Beau’s lines are horizontal indentations in the nail plate that can occur when nail growth is temporarily disrupted. Unlike Mees’ lines, which are horizontal discolorations, Beau’s lines are actual ridges or grooves that can be felt with a fingertip. The temporary cessation of cell division in the nail matrix can be triggered by various factors including: • Infections or issues in the nail fold, where nail formation begins. • Physical trauma to the nail or nail fold. • Systemic conditions such as coronary occlusion, hypocalcemia, or skin diseases. • Systemic diseases, which may manifest during episodes of high fever like scarlet fever, measles, mumps, and pneumonia, or in chronic conditions like uncontrolled diabetes and peripheral vascular disease. • Nutritional deficiencies, such as a lack of zinc. • The impact of chemotherapy drugs. These lines typically appear one to two months after the onset of the triggering event. In children with Kawasaki disease, for example, Beau’s lines are noticeable one to two months following the fever’s peak. This timing can help healthcare providers pinpoint when a health event occurred based on the rate of nail growth. I’m really glad you asked that-it gives us a chance to explore this subject in more detail.❤

@@MyClinicalBook thank you for your reply. This is a lot of information . It is very interesting as I do suffer from Beau’s lines. I’ve had them for years with some months, they are worse than others. I also have other symptoms that are in this video. I’m thinking on getting a test to see if I’m being exposed thallium. I thank you once again have a great day
