How is lead poisoning it treated?

Treatment for lead poisoning includes removing the source of lead exposure and eating a balanced diet. Adequate nutrition, especially sufficient iron intake, helps prevent absorption of lead. Often this treatment approach is enough to reduce lead levels in the body. If this is not successful or if lead levels are very high, chelation therapy may be used. Chelation therapy involves taking medicines that bind to lead in the body and help speed its elimination through the kidneys. It is important to make sure that children are not exposed to lead. The most effective means of prevention is to keep children out of buildings and toys that contain lead-based paint until the lead has been either removed or sealed away and the environment is certified by professionals to be free of lead residues.
