Oppose

Oppose merger, the Itai Itai disease is an example where cadmium poisoning affected a large number of people. The description of the symptoms can be moved to cadmium poisoning, but the specifics for this instance deserve its sepatare article -- Chris 73 | Talk 07:05, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

All right, I see your point. It's parallel to the situation with Minamata disease and mercury poisoning — Minamata disease is a specific notable instance so it deserves its own article. But if they shouldn't be merged, they should be coordinated with each other, know what I mean? —Keenan Pepper 17:08, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For example, the "Clinical effects" section has nothing particular to this instance, so it should be completely merged into Cadmium poisoning. —Keenan Pepper 17:16, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with you. With the description of the symptoms i meant the clinical effects, these can be abbreviated and the original text moved/merged to Cadmium poisoning. -- Chris 73 | Talk 22:18, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

when it happened

It says in the summary of the article at the top that it happened in 1950, yet further reading into the article says the pollution was being released from 1910 to 1945 with the first case of the disease appearing in 1912. Where did 1950 come from?--Santahul 13:49, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note superficial similarities to the Kii Peninsula Motor Neurone Disease

A superficially similar condition ALS-PDC arising from the use of cycad-nut based native medicines or flours or the consumption of flying-foxes which concentrate the toxin in their bodies is to be found on the Kii Peninsula as studied by Spencer. 210.50.176.32 09:27, 25 March 2007 (UTC) Ian Ison[reply]

treatment/therapy

No treatment, no therapy known? --193.175.206.234 (talk) 11:20, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

More on Cadmium poisoning

There should be more information on the research that claims that postmenopausal women are more negatively affected. There should also be more information on how it affects children and how cadmium even accumulated enough in these people's bodies to become a widespread problem in the Toyama prefecture.Khira.francis (talk) 23:01, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
