Of course it is easy to go wrong
Recently there is a Shenzhen baby
After using the "earth remedies" found by the elderly,
actually appeared
▽
5-month-old baby can't eat well and sleep well
Check, the lead exceeds the standard twice!
"Your child's situation is lead poisoning."
After getting the checklist, Xiao Chen's whole body is not good.
Xiao Chen is from Jieyang, Guangdong, and now lives in Longhua. His second treasure is 5 months old. A while ago, the baby suddenly lost his appetite. A bottle of milk is often eaten half and poured half.
Not only is it difficult to feed, the baby is also very active. No matter who coaxed or hugged him, he was very restless and kept writhing. The most frustrating thing is that he wakes up frequently at night, sometimes more than 10 times a night.
Seeing "Little Master" is getting thinner day by day, the whole family is very worried. In desperation, Xiao Chen took the baby to Shenzhen Children's Hospital for examination.
In this investigation, it was found that 血铅超标!
report results show that the lead content in the baby’s blood is as high as 209 μg/L (micrograms/liter, the normal range is between 0~100 μg/L), which means that child’s blood lead The value has exceeded the upper limit of normal value by 1 times .
The baby is lead poisoned!
The family was frightened
▽
Half a month after the lead discharge treatment, the baby had another check-up. The strange thing is that his whole blood lead content did not drop but rose instead, reaching 330 ug/L! Doctor
diagnosed: baby not only has lead poisoning, but also his liver function is damaged . This time, the whole family became more anxious.
However, if you want to discharge lead, you must first cut off the source of lead. Under the guidance of the doctor, Xiao Chen checked everything that the baby touched one by one-
???? Is the lead in tap water exceeding the standard?
However, if it’s the tap water problem, it won’t be the baby alone.
???? Is the water in the pool on the roof?
The self-built house has a pool on the roof, which is rarely cleaned. Although not commonly used, problems cannot be ruled out.
???? Is the storage type electric water heater at home?
That magnesium rod will not be changed for a long time, there may be a problem. Also, the hot water room temperature heater at home is made of stainless steel, will it also exceed the standard?
In order to find out what happened, Xiao Chen took samples of all the "suspicious" water in the house and sent it to test the lead content.
As a result, there is no problem with water, and the lead content is all 0. Under repeated questioning by the doctor, Xiao Chen suddenly remembered that the baby had recently taken a "home remedy".
Not long ago, the baby started to drool, and the grandmother asked the person to get a "folk remedy" from his hometown in Chaoshan. These green and black powders are packed in a small bottle without any label, which looks very mysterious.
Listen to the old man's words, dip a little powder on your baby's tongue with your fingers, and the medicine will cure the disease. Many of the kids in my hometown have tried it. It is said to be quite effective.
Is there something wrong with the home remedy? Xiao Chen believes he will be suspicious.Sent for testing. It turns out that the lead content in the folk remedies is surprisingly high.
Sure enough
is the fault of the "folk prescription"!
Lead discharge treatment for one year
The baby’s blood lead is finally normal
Find the source of lead poisoning, cut off the lead input, and the disease will be cured.
After treatment, the baby's blood lead index decreased significantly. Soon, his milk intake increased and his sleep was much easier. However, Xiao Chen's family is still unhappy. When
was discharged from the hospital, the doctor said something that made them feel very heavy-
Lead will stick to the bones and marrow. The current treatment is 血排铅. When the excess lead in the blood is discharged, after a period of time, the lead in the bones and bone marrow will enter the blood. Therefore, the treatment of lead poisoning requires a protracted battle , which sometimes takes months or even years.
One year later, Xiao Chen did not dare to neglect, and took the baby for reexamination on time, and insisted on lead discharge therapy.
During the recent re-examination, the baby's blood lead index has returned to the normal range of 70 μg/L. Although the height and weight are slightly worse than other babies, the overall development is still normal.
The family was really relieved.
The baby’s blood lead index has returned to the normal range
Why talk about lead discoloration?
Lead poisoning is really terrible
Lead is a neurotoxic heavy metal element , which has no physiological effects in the human body. The most ideal state is that the lead concentration in the blood (referred to as "blood lead") is 0.
However, this is basically impossible. Lead is ubiquitous in life, and most people have a certain amount of lead in their bodies.
How much lead content in the body reaches
Even if it exceeds the standard?
Look at the following table
▽
If the blood lead level is greater than or equal to 200μg/L, means the child lead poisoning. . What does lead poisoning mean?
Lead poisoning can cause a series of abnormal manifestations of the nervous system, blood system, and digestive system, affecting the normal functions of the human body. When the blood lead value-
exceeds 100 μg/L
hemoglobin metabolism will be affected
•more than 200 μg/L
iron, zinc, calcium Metabolism will be affected, and there will be calcium deficiency, zinc deficiency, hemoglobin synthesis disorder, low immunity, decreased IQ, growth retardation, etc.
•over 500 μg/L
This is dying. Symptoms of poisoning such as anemia, vomiting, arrhythmia, and loss of vision and hearing will all appear; no matter how high it is, it will directly cause damage to all organs of the body, and even death. Blood lead exceeding event
has caused great social concern

Relative to adults, children are more likely to be lead poisoned . This is because the lead absorption rate of children is as high as 42%~53% , which is about 5 times of adult , and the lead discharge capacity is only 1/7 of adult.
Domestic research results show thatIf the blood lead in the child's body exceeds 100 μg/L, the intelligence index will drop 10-20 points .
But
Parents don’t need to be too nervous
The blood lead value is below 100 μg/L, which is safe (for children, it is recommended to control below 50 μg/L). Moreover, in recent years, the blood lead level of children in my country has generally shown a downward trend, and most urban and rural children have blood lead levels less than 100 μg/L.
Of course, if you are still not at ease, then you can take an extra blood lead check when taking your child for a physical examination~
What factors are related to the child’s blood lead exceeding the standard
?
toys stationery
Lead is a stabilizer with color fixation function and is widely used in children's favorite toys and stationery.
And children from 0 to 6 years old, after playing with toys and touching things, often grab something and eat without washing their hands, or directly gnaw their hands or bite their nails; some children have the bad problem of biting pencils while learning. (The color paint on the outer surface of the pencil contains lead), which may also cause excessive blood lead.
cosmetics
Mom should pay attention to this point, some of the cosmetic ingredients we use daily contain lead. Be careful not to kiss your baby or let your baby kiss your face during makeup. Be careful of "Lead Enter " from the mouth."
Decoration material
Decoration pollution is a major source of lead ingested through the respiratory tract.
Environmental pollution
There are factories with serious chemical pollution around the residence, causing air, soil, and water sources to be polluted. Of course, this is relatively rare for most families.
Lead-containing foods
For example, preserved eggs, we often hear old people say that you should eat less preserved eggs, and if you eat too much, you will be dumb. In fact, it is because some preserved eggs contain high lead . However, some preserved eggs now have extremely low lead content. So, you don’t have to see preserved eggs, you think of lead exceeding the standard.
Do these points,
can prevent lead poisoning
Hyperleademia and lead poisoning in children are completely preventable.
✔Educate children to develop a good habit of washing hands frequently , especially washing hands before meals is very important. Pay attention to children's personal hygiene and cut nails frequently. Nail joints are particularly easy to hide lead dust.
✔Clean children's toys and supplies frequently, and use a clean damp cloth to clean the dust on the parts that children can touch.
✔Families that use coal as fuel should open more windows for ventilation. Pregnant women and children try to avoid passive smoking.
✔When choosing children's tableware, avoid colored patterns and fake products.
✔Children can eat more of these foods: dairy products and soy products with sufficient calcium; animal liver, blood, meat, eggs, and seafood rich in iron and zinc; fresh vegetables rich in vitamin C, Fruit etc.
In addition, children should eat regularly and avoid excessively greasy food. Fasting and excessively greasy food will increase the absorption of lead in the intestine.
