Lead Testing

Childhood lead poisoning is one of the most common preventable health problems in the United States. Symptoms are similar to other illnesses and often misdiagnosed.

Signs and symptoms include:

  • Headaches
  • Fatigue
  • Hyperactivity
  • Poor appetite
  • Anemia
  • Vomiting

Without proper treatment, lead poisoning can cause kidney damage, brain damage and learning disabilities. Children should be routinely tested for lead poisoning at age 1 and 2 years and annually until age 5, if at high risk.

For any questions or concerns regarding lead testing, please contact Public Health Nursing at (660) 747-6121.
