How does overexposure affect toxicity?

Overexposure to a substance typically increases toxicity due to the accumulation of harmful agents in the body. When a person is exposed to chemicals or toxins more frequently or in higher concentrations than recommended, their body’s ability to process and eliminate these toxins is overwhelmed. As the level of exposure rises, the likelihood of adverse health effects becomes greater, including symptoms like irritation, allergic reactions, or even more severe reactions depending on the nature of the substance.

This principle applies across various contexts, whether it be with certain chemicals used in manicuring — such as those found in nail products — or other types of environmental exposures. In the context of manicuring, for instance, prolonged exposure to certain solvents or chemicals can lead to increased skin sensitivity, respiratory issues, or systemic toxicity. Recognizing that the risk escalates with increased exposure is crucial for safety and health in the practice of manicuring and related fields.
