Nausea and vomiting are common side effects of zinc toxicity.
Very less to no urination is also a very dangerous sign of severe dehydration. This can happen when a person is constantly vomiting or suffering from watery stool.
Inhaling zinc fumes can cause flu-like symptoms, such as fever, chills, cough, headache, and fatigue.
