10 Symptoms of Lead Poisoning
Symptom #3: Stunted Development
The most important part of a person’s development occurs when they are young. If they are not able to develop as they should at the right time, then this can lead to them being underdeveloped physically in later life. This means that if young people develop lead poisoning, it could impact them for the rest of their lives.
A child’s development is gradual, meaning that we are unlikely to notice slowed development for a while. If you do think that your child is not developing as they should, you should consult a doctor as soon as possible. If lead poisoning is diagnosed, then medical experts can begin treatment to limit the impact on your child’s life.
