Byssinosis is a disease of the lungs resulting from the inhalation of dust produced by cotton or vegetable fibers. Classified as a form of occupational asthma, byssinosis can lead to chronic lung disease, including life-long asthma. There is no cure for byssinosis, so reducing or eliminating dust exposure is essential for successful treatment.
