would somebody please define selenium poisoning. Can it be gotten without direct contact, through the air for instance. Is there actually something that can be medically defined as selenium poisoning?

I take 50 mcg of selenium every day
You need a little (very little) of it, but a lot will kill you. Like a lot of other trace elements. I do not know the dose, but you could find it on google.

Quoting the above site:
"Epidemiological studies of humans chronically (long-term) exposed to high levels of selenium in food and water have reported discoloration of the skin, pathological deformation and loss of nails, loss of hair, excessive tooth decay and discoloration, lack of mental alertness, and listlessness."
Boy that explains a lot!!

I don't play the piano, I don't have a beard and I listen to AC/DC in the darkroom. I have no hope as a photographer.

What does not kill me ... just delays the inevitable.
"...humans chronically ... exposed to high levels of selenium... have reported ... lack of mental alertness and listlessness."
Does that mean selenium turns people into state workers?
Alan that would also include politicians, such as southern mayors and governors.
