Children Showing Receding Hair Line, Lethargy And Feel Hot. What Could The Cause Be?
My 2 small children 4 and 3 and I 29 losing hair also receding. The children are lethargic and tell me they are sick we all feel hot. They have to touch everything almost as if they are drugged... I myself feel sick dizzy drunk sensitive to noise smells and I am tired. My boyfriend is just fine. Could it be poison? Carbon monoxide? Please help me rule it out???

Dear patient,
Indeed, the case sounds like environmental poisoning, and the 2 main culprits in my differential would be lead or carbon monoxide; levels of both, as well as other basic testing, should be done for you and your kids as soon as possible.
