Lead Poisoning During the Victorian House Renovation
 Many workers in the construction field have been diagnosed with lead poisoning. In some cases, the poisoning is linked to renovating old homes and other buildings that contain lead-based paint. Lead poisoning occurs when the body absorbs lead, usually through inhalation or ingestion. Lead can damage many body organs, including the brain and kidneys. Symptoms of lead poisoning include headaches, stomach pain, constipation, muscle weakness, and difficulties with learning and memory. In severe cases, lead poisoning can lead to coma and finally death. There is no cure for lead poisoning, but the problem can be treated with chelation therapy, which involves administering drugs that bind to lead and remove it from the body. The therapy process also depends on several issues, including the level of lead absorbed by body organs.

If you suspect that you or someone you know has been exposed to lead, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention.
