Lead poisoning is slow to develop and the initial symptoms subtle, so you cannot tell directly until the damage is irreversible. The only way to tell is by a blood or hair test for lead levels. If the levels are found to be high, treatment by chelation should begin immediately to remove the lead from your body.
