Lead Poisoning Symptoms

El Chavito said it has not received any sickness reports to date from consuming the recalled candy. However, some of the symptoms of lead poisoning may not appear immediately.

Lead is a substance that is present in the environment, so people are constantly exposed to it. You will find traces of lead in dust, drinking water, and even some foods. Exposure to higher levels of lead often causes poisoning. Its symptoms may include abdominal pain, vomiting, lethargy, irritability, weakness, behavior or mood changes, seizures, and coma.

Chronic exposure to large amounts of lead can affect infants, young children, and developing fetuses without any overt symptoms of poisoning. As a result, children may not look sick if they have consumed foods high in lead. Lead poisoning in children can have serious side effects that take time to develop. These include learning disabilities, developmental delays and lower IQ scores.
