Should I be worried?

My daughter turned 2 in September. Her doctor just called and told me that her LEAD level is at a 10 which is the highest it can be and to take her to the lab to be tested. I am very worried that something is seriously wrong. Should I be worried or is this something common. We live in a new house and there is no lead in our paint or water. I am scared and really need some advice.

    Lead is not a good thing it can give you brain damage and you can die at a young age from it you have every right to be scared and if your house is new like that i wonder where she could have got it from(cuz usually they say paint chips) maybe a toy or something from China just stay calm i'm sure God will take care of everything it'll be ok

    Ask your doctor about a round of chelation therapy. Usually an intraveous therapy but now days you can do it orally or use a supository. Chelation therapy is used to decrease the amount of heavy metals in a body. Heavy metals can be extremely toxic and can cause damage so I would check this out ASAP. In addition, you need to find out why your child has such high levels in their system.
