[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 215608, member: 84"] Susie Ok. We've been studying heavy metal toxicity in chemistry the past couple of weeks. And Jesse has been naggling at my brain.......... Has she ever been tested for heavy metals? Cuz I went looking and found this tidbit. [B][SIZE=3]Lead [/SIZE][/B]Acute exposure to lead is also more likely to occur in the workplace, particularly in manufacturing processes that include the use of lead (e.g., where batteries are manufactured or lead is recycled). Even printing ink, gasoline, and fertilizer contain lead. Symptoms include abdominal pain, convulsions, hypertension, renal dysfunction, loss of appetite, fatigue, and sleeplessness. Other symptoms are hallucinations, headache, numbness, arthritis, and vertigo. Chronic exposure to lead may result in birth defects, mental retardation, autism, psychosis, allergies, dyslexia, hyperactivity, weight loss, shaky hands, muscular weakness, and paralysis (beginning in the forearms).

In addition to the symptoms found in acute lead exposure, symptoms of chronic lead exposure could be allergies, arthritis, autism, colic, hyperactivity, mood swings, nausea, numbness, lack of concentration, seizures, and weight loss. Not saying it's the problem......just wanting to toss out the idea just in case you'd want to look into it further to see if it might be relevant. Hugs [/QUOTE]
