Occupational and Environmental Health: Recognizing and Preventing Disease and Injury - Multiple Choice Questions - Learn & Prevent

Mill Fever is the self-limited disease seen in workers during their first exposure in cotton-dust environments, causing 'flu'-like symptoms. This means that the disease will go away on its own without treatment and is only seen in workers who are newly exposed to cotton-dust environments. Silicosis and Asbestosis are both lung diseases caused by exposure to specific substances (silica dust and asbestos fibers, respectively) and are not self-limited. Chronic Bronchitis is a condition caused by long-term exposure to irritants, such as cigarette smoke, and is not self-limited or specific to workers in cotton-dust environments. Therefore, the correct answer is Mill Fever.
