Do you know are parents having their children tested for lead poisoning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Confusing question: Screening tests that indirectly assess lead exposure are part of routine health care for infants. Direct testing for lead is required by medicaid in infants and toddlers. When or if parents are actually taking their kids in for these visits varies within various cultural or family situations.Low level exposure seldom produces clinical symptoms, high level exposure will produce symptoms.
