How quickly does lead leave your body? if ingested lead, still in blood a week later?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It may never leave: Lead can combine with various materials in the body and become an inactive part of the bone, never to leave the body. While it is still metabolically active it can leave the body or be extracted using various methods.
