10 Symptoms of Lead Poisoning
Symptom #6: Pregnancy Problems
As the fetus is gestating in its mother’s womb, it is largely protected from the outside world. It is even protected from pathogens by the mother’s immune system, keeping it relatively safe from disease. Unfortunately, though, the mother is unable to provide such protection to the fetus from lead poisoning.
If the mother has lead poisoning then the fetus will also be exposed to the poisoning from the nutrients it receives from its mother. This can be very harmful and can potentially be fatal to the fetus. Even if the fetus does survive, there is a good chance it will have permanent disabilities as a result of the poisoning.
