Question
What are the symptoms of high lead levels in children?
Answer
Children with elevated lead levels often experience symptoms such as loss of appetite, stomach pain, insomnia, learning disabilities, constipation, nausea, diarrhea, fatigue, low IQ, anemia, and hyperactivity. The most accurate way to determine this is through a hospital test for trace elements. Normal blood lead levels for adults should not exceed 100 micrograms per liter, and for children, it’s even better to be lower.
