Lead Poisoning
According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), lead is a poisonous substance that can harm people of all ages and health conditions. It's crucial to safeguard children from lead exposure to ensure their long-term well-being. The effects of lead exposure in children are often hard to spot. Most children don't show any obvious symptoms right away. If you think your child might have come into contact with lead-containing products, talk to their doctor about getting a blood lead test. Lead poisoning can only be diagnosed through medical testing.
While the signs and symptoms of lead poisoning vary, short-term exposure can lead to the following symptoms:
- Headache
- Abdominal pain/Colic
- Vomiting
- Anemia
Longer term exposure could result in additional symptoms:
- Irritability
- Lethargy
- Fatigue
- Muscle aches or muscle prickling/burning
- Occasional abdominal discomfort
- Constipation
- Difficulty concentrating/Muscular exhaustibility
- Headache
- Tremor
- Weight loss
