Mees' lines are white bands that form across your fingernails and are one of the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Mees' lines are a sign that the growth of your nails temporarily stopped at one point. There are many causes to Mees' lines, and usually it indicates a toxicity. Carbon monoxide, along with other substances like arsenic, and selenium poisoning may cause them.
