Generally, long-term prognosis is helpful to survival of initial exposure to<unk><unk> . Some cases of<unk>  resolves with no observable symptoms and patient may be determined by pulmonary function testing. If chronic exposure causes lung damage, it could take several days or months for the pulmonary function to improve. Meanwhile, permanent mild dysfunction may result from bronchiolitis obliterans and could manifest as abnormal flow at 50 to 70 percent of vital capacity. It may also manifest as mild hyperinflammation, airway obstruction and in that case, patient may be subject to steroid treatment to treat deconditioning. Complications from prolong exposure includes bronchiolitis obliterans and other secondary infections such as pneumonia due to injuries on the mucous membrane from pulmonary edema and inhibition of immune system by<unk><unk> .<unk><unk>  inhalation can result in short and long-term morbidity or death depending on the extent of exposure and inhaled concentration and the exposure time. Illness resulting from acute exposure is usually not fatal although some exposure may cause bronchiolitis obliterans, pulmonary edema as well as rapid asphyxiation. If the concentration of exposure is excessively high, the gas may displace oxygen resulting in fatal asphyxiation. Generally, patients and workers should be educated by medical personnel on how to identify the signs and symptoms of<unk> . Farmers and other farm workers should be educated on the proper way of food grain storage to prevent silo filler's disease.
