Get treated: If your toddler has elevated blood levels from a legitimate lab (and there are quack labs, just like there are quack doctors) , treatment needs to be initiated. You also need to find the source of the lead -- paint? Something else? -- and remove it. Work with the child's physician on this, and god luck.

?poisoning?: Almost all of us will have evidence of lead exposure, since it exists in several forms in the environment. Labs generally won't report a level less than 2, since it is so minor and present screening tells us to look into levels over 7,although it was over 10 not to long ago.Eliminating random household exposures is the approach. For levels over 30-40 meds to remove the lead may be used.
