 Staying Healthy in October
   Get Educated. Get Empowered.
Lead Week is October 20-26
Lead is a toxic metal that has been used in many products over time - including in spices, makeup, and even home remedies. Children less than six years old are at a higher risk of lead exposure. Their bodies are rapidly developing and more susceptible to taking in lead if exposed, even in small amounts. No amount of lead in the body is safe.
This lead poisoning prevention week, take action by getting educated. There's more to know about lead.
