Detoxification: There is a chance that your body is detoxifying now that you have stopped inhaling toxins. For instance you might cough more, as the cilia in your lungs start working again after a long period of paralysis. Acneiform lesions can be one symptom of rapid detoxification. Drink lots of water. You may wish to talk to your dr. About supplements that can used during detoxification.
