Abby's Magazine - Volume 6 Issue 4| Page 45 Sometimes lead poisoning symptoms in children can be mistaken for symptoms of less serious conditions or just ignored as unimportant. For example, stomachaches, headaches, irritability, hyperactivity, and loss of appetite are some common lead poisoning symptoms. Typically, a blood test can determine if a child has lead poisoning. Metal Flush for Mercury Toxicity Children and fetuses may be exposed to mercury from flu and vaccine shots. When thimerosal, a mercury-based anti-bacterial agent, was first introduced decades ago, not much was yet known about the dangers of mercury exposure. It was widely used in vaccine shots for children. In the early 1990s the CDC added 5 new shots for infants in their first 6 months. In 1999, the accumulated amount of mercury from multiple shots was found to exceed the guideline set by the Environmental Protection Agency. By 2002, thimerosal was either removed or reduced to trace levels in all routine shots. Controversy has resurfaced when the flu shots containing thimerosal were added to the childhood immunization schedule in 2004. Although 7 states (CA, WA, NY, IA, IL, MO and DE) have adopted anti-mercury laws, this type of legislation was opposed in other states. e American Academy of Pediatrics has a zero tolerance for mercury, stating, "Mercury in all its forms is toxic to the fetus and children". Mercury damages the nervous system especially in children and infants because of their low body weight and developing brains.
