Very likely... the family/hereditery clue is often confused... families share the same environment, so will also be lead "poisoned"... Blood test can indicate poisoning. Treatment is to remove the individuals(s) from the contamination, and provide mineral suppliments blocking uptake of dangerous metals. Do not chelate, weight loss will often release metals into blood, increasing symptoms... With time metals are excreted slowly.
