Can an adult be checked for the lead poisoning from childhood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: Lead poisoning diagnosed initially with a blood level. If exposed about acquiring as adult this will give answer. If as a child you should have been checked and if not the lead should have leached from bones and eliminated. Thr interesting thing is that when i was growing up a level of 60 ok. Now it is 6 or less.
