How do I manage my lead poisoning on a daily basis?

Mild cases of lead poisoning might be managed simply by taking steps to reduce the exposure to lead. However, if you suspect you or a family member has lead poisoning, contact your doctor or the health department in your community. A simple blood test can diagnose lead poisoning, and then appropriate medical therapies will be used to remove lead from the body.

Lead poisoning is especially harmful to young children, and some of its long-term effects cannot be reversed, so timely diagnosis and treatment are vital.
