I am lead toxicity , what can i do now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: The first step in treating all degrees of lead poisoning is to remove the source of the contamination. Than check your serum lead level in your doctor's office. If the level is too high (>45 mcg/dl), you will get a treatment with a chelation therapy (medication that binds with the lead so that it's excreted in your urine), such as edta.
