  • Yes, people can recover from lead poisoning, but it depends on the severity of the poisoning and how much lead is in the person's body. If someone has high levels of lead in their body, they may need to be hospitalised and undergo chelation therapy, which is a treatment that removes heavy metals from the body. Chelation therapy is a process that involves giving the person a special medicine to bind to the lead so that it can be removed from the body. People who have low levels of lead in their bodies may only need to make some changes to their diet and lifestyle to help get rid of the lead.

    Yes, lead poisoning is treatable. The most important factor in treating lead poisoning is catching it early. Treatment may include medications to remove the lead from your body and dietary changes.
