Patient's question:
How to treat excessive trace elements in children's hair tests?Doctor's answer:
The blood lead levels and lead poisoning rates in children increase with the higher amount of smoking in the household and the longer duration of smoking.Do not consume the first drop of tap water in the morning, nor use it to cook, even though the lead content in tap water is not high. After a night's accumulation, a significant amount of lead can build up. Therefore, discarding the first 3-5 minutes of tap water in the morning can help prevent lead poisoning.
Avoid foods high in lead content, such as century eggs, fried potato strips made with harmful dyes, popcorn, and poor-quality mooncakes (as improper production processes, especially during mold pressing, can cause lead content to exceed standards).
Do not drink alcoholic beverages or other drinks that have been left in lead-containing containers (such as wine glasses, bowls, and plates) for an extended period. Minimize exposure to lead-containing substances (such as paint, batteries, leaded gasoline, colored pencils, etc.). Avoid staying in lead-polluted areas, such as busy traffic zones and industrial production areas. Wash your hands before meals, do not bite toys and learning materials, and use cosmetics sparingly.
