A member asked:
What symptoms/damage/long term affect would exposure of a larger degree of lead as a child have on me as an adult ?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
None: Especially if treated. It causes GI effects irritability and you would have had learning difficulties . Now do you still have high lead levels? If so it should still be treated

Too many : Headache, abdomen pain, kidney failure, memory loss, poor academic performance etc. The list is too long. Lead affects most organs of the body.
