    excessive selenium intake causing symptoms like hair loss and nail brittleness

    Selenium toxicity, also known as selenosis, occurs when there is an excessive accumulation of selenium in the body, often due to overconsumption of selenium-rich foods or supplements. Symptoms can include gastrointestinal distress, hair loss, nail brittleness, and in severe cases, neurological damage. It is important to maintain selenium intake within recommended limits to avoid these adverse effects.
