Among the symptoms of chronic berylliosis are difficulty in breathing, recurrent dry cough, fatigue, chest and joint pain, night sweats, fever and lack of appetite, according to the Mayo Clinic’s fact sheet on the illness; Pulis says he has had them all.

I’d not expect a personal computer manufacturer to even be aware of the possible problems of berylliosis but would be outraged if a producer of beryllium copper, when outsourcing production, didn’t check on worker exposure at that plant they’d outsourced to.

Lamp-industry workers of the '40s are still dying from berylliosis, a lung disease brought on by exposure to beryllium, a lightweight metal used for coating fluorescent lighting tubes.
