Brief Answer: You would not have lead poisoning just now Detailed Answer: Hi and thank you so much for this query. A one time exposure would not cause symptoms of lead poisoning be it now or sometime in the future unless you ingested significant amounts which seems not to be the case here. Lead poisoning occurs when lead builds up in the body, often over a period of months or years. Just for your knowledge, the signs are symptoms may include high blood pressure, declines in mental functioning, pain, numbness or tingling of the extremities, muscular weakness, headache abdominal pain, memory loss mood disorders, reduced sperm count, abnormal sperm, etc. In all, you would not present with signs and symptoms of lead poisoning just because of this one tie exposure. Be relaxed and calm. Avoid future exposures and you would be fine. I hope this addresses your query fully. I wish you well and feel free to request for more information and clarification if need be. Thanks. Dr. Ivo, MD.

Brief Answer: One time small quantities...Minimal risk Detailed Answer: Hi and thank you so much for this follow up. The simple truth is that google makes no analysis of information and lead is lead. Of course, google will not know whether it was a one time small quantity or many times much quantities! I am not surprised you were made to get very scare. That;s why we need a logical reasoning process into all we do especially when it comes to health. Children bear a higher risk because they ingest and have a long time to accumulate and develop brain damage. This is not the case with adults who would only ingest accidentally in small quantities. If it were al limited to this, you are good and the risk of having any cognitive difficulties in future is almost nonexistent. be careful as you handle this in future. I hope you feel a lot better not because I want you to but because the facts say so. I wish you well. Dr. Ivo, MD.

Brief Answer: We all have non toxic lead levels! Detailed Answer: Thanks for your kind words and humbling to know your day has been made a better one. The problem is not lead but the quantity. The quantity is almost negligible in your case and there is no need to get worried. Remember there are persons who manipulate lead daily as their jobs and yet do not develop toxicity because they take measures and keep the levels very low. If you were at risk, getting lead out of the system is relatively inexpensive and not invasive that I would have recommended. I wish you well. All the best and feel free to keep the discussion going if needed. Dr. Ivo, MD.

Brief Answer: PLease, do not create a problem when there is none Detailed Answer: Hi and thanks for this follow up. You are very concerned about this lead poisoning to levels that it is no longer helping to address the problem but creating a new one. I will not want to see you engineer a problem for us to manage. There is no need for chelation at this point. I will not recommend it at this time unless something else suggests so. Children can suffer from lead poisoning just like adults but, the difference is that children can easily attain toxic levels than adults. Instead of being so so worried, you may want to get your blood lead levels measured for an objective information that would calm you down. This to me is totally not necessary at this point but for the fact that the figures may help you get over this by being assured and reassured that there is nothing bad with lead levels in your system. I hope this helps. Stop being unhelpful to yourself through unhealthy thoughts. I wish you well. Dr. Ivo, MD.
