I get more lead exposure from being outside in a city during a dusty day. On top of that, you can literally reduce your bodies ability to absorb lead by eating healthy foods with calcium or rich in iron.

I'm a rural Texan so I'm pretty rarely in a city at all, much less on a dusty day.

But I didn't know about food combatting lead exposure, thanks for the link! I'll look into it.

I'm in a rural area as well, and I rarely go into the major city, so I know what you mean.

Yea if you like dairy it's a huge help. Same with some nice greens with loads of iron.
