Hi, I believe I am overexposed to copper, because soil in our region is rich in copper and I am vegetarian. Yesterday, I was feeling dizzy, exhausted, my back was aching and muscles too. What are characteristics of copper toxicity?

Copper toxicity can be due to: excessive intake, low levels of zinc in the diet, because copper and zinc are absorbed by the same transporter, contaminated food cooked in metallic dishes, contaminated water, accidental agricultural overspray or elevated levels of estrogens. another reason can be the switch from galvanized to copper water pipes. If water is left standing in copper plumbing pipes, it can be toxic when consumed. Symptoms can include high blood pressure, constant fatigue, nausea, hyperactivity, irritability, joint pain, stiffness, unsound sleep and concentration problems.
