A member asked:
How much time would you live if you have phossy jaw?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Phossy?: Phossy jaw, formally phosphorus necrosis of the jaw, is an occupational disease of those who work with white phosphorus, also known as yellow phosphorus, without proper safeguards. It was most commonly seen in workers in the match industry in the 19th and early 20th century. I don't have any current experience with this disorder. See your MD if you feel you have this problem.
