How does brown lung disease affect the body?

Brown lung disease causes the airways to tighten and interrupts normal lung function. This condition will become progressive if exposure to cotton, hemp, or flax dust continues. Coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and the other symptoms of this illness typically reverse when you remove yourself from the source of the dust exposure.
