The National Weather Service has issued a dense fog alert near Jacksonville and Tallahassee for Tuesday until Wednesday .

It comes just weeks after another thick fog rolled into the area last month that locals also said had a smell of metal.

Floridians have reported symptoms associated with exposure to the fog, including coughing, sore throat, congestion, eye irritation, lethargy, loss of appetite and gut issues.

The National Weather Service has issued dense fog advisories off the coast of coast of Florida from Keaton Beach to Ochlockonee River .

Fog can be especially irritating when it is mixed with airborne pollutants, allergens or other particles.

Smells become more potent in humid air because the water droplets trap the odor-causing molecules and allow them to linger longer and remain concentrated.
