Question
Is lead acetate injection harmful?
Answer
Mild lead poisoning can often be managed without medication. It’s important to cultivate good habits, such as frequent hand washing, reducing outdoor activities near highways, not biting on colored toys or pencils, and minimizing contact with painted products. Additionally, food therapy can help lower lead levels in the body. Eat more calcium and zinc-rich foods like milk, soy milk, sesame seeds, and nuts. Consume fewer traditional foods with high lead content, such as salted duck eggs and popcorn, to prevent the progression to lead poisoning.
