Answers:
Lead is a very strong poison!. When a person swallows a lead object or inhales lead dust, some of the poison can stay in the body and cause serious health problems!. A single high, toxic dose of lead can cause severe emergency symptoms!. However, it is more common for lead poisoning to build up slowly over time!. This occurs from repeated exposure to small amounts of lead!. In this case, there may not be any obvious symptoms, but the lead can still cause serious health problems over time, such as difficulty sleeping or lowered IQ in children

Children get lead in their bodies when they put lead objects in their mouths,

Over time, even low levels of lead exposure can harm a child's mental development!. The possible health problems get worse as the level of lead in the blood gets higher

Possible complications include:

Reduced IQ
Slowed body growth
Hearing problems
Behavior or attention problems
Failure at school
Kidney damage

Lead can cause cancer and kidney failure, that is why you don't want to wear jewelry if it contains lead, because you have become exposed to it!. It gets into your pores and then your blood stream!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
