A member asked:

By the time you have symptoms of lead poisoning, how high is your lead level?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Variable: The cut-off values for abnormal lead levels are based on age: 10 versus 25 for child versus adult, respectively (ug/dl). However, each person is unique in how they respond to elevated levels. Therefore, your level may not be so high above normal, and yet you can still have severe symptoms.
