When it comes to lead poisoning, acting early makes the difference. Blood lead testing is required for children with Medicaid at 1 and 2 years old & recommended for all at-risk children at these ages. Talk to your doctor for more information. https://t.co/A2tqezOA5D — PolitiTweet.org

Ask your health care provider about getting your child tested. A blood lead test is the easiest way to know if your child has been exposed to lead. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Because children with lead poisoning don't often look or act sick, it can be hard to identify the first signs of ailment. #NLPPW2021 #LeadFreeKids 1/ https://t.co/VLkJPpC2yG — PolitiTweet.org

It is well-documented that people of color and children in poor households are at a higher risk of lead exposure. HUD's mission to advance racial equity by providing every family with a safe, healthy home relies on a broad awareness of lead exposure. #NLPPW2021 #LeadFreeKids https://t.co/rB0Lw3kkzh — PolitiTweet.org
