Young children are especially at risk for lead poisoning because they often put non-food items in their mouth. Children with lead poisoning do not look sick. A blood lead test must be done to determine if a child has lead poisoning. If left untreated, lead poisoning can cause behavioral and learning problems.
To have your child tested for lead call your doctor or the Onondaga County Health Department's Lead Poisoning Control Program. For additional information about lead poisoning, blood lead testing and ways to protect your children from lead hazards, contact the Lead Poisoning Control Program at (315) 435-3271.
