SP - 1 EP - 6 VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - Silo-filler's disease, a life-threatening condition from exposure to silage gas in recently filled silos, has been known for over 5 decades now. However, farm workers remain exposed to this preventable condition. We describe the index presentations and subsequent changes among 19 patients managed within our health system over a 61-year period and highlight the need for ongoing education on minimizing exposure to silo gas.
