Hi. I'm a 35 year old male. Last year I was diagnosed with lead poisoning (my
blood
lead level was found to be >26 at the time I was tested). The symptoms come and
go,
but I'm dealing with them one day at a time.
I have no children, but lately (for obvious reasons) I've been wondering
about my
ability to ever have them. Specifically, I'm wondering A. if a high blood lead
level is a
"death sentence" for a man's reproductive ability, and B. whether or not there
are
likely to be birth defects, assuming fertilization is still possible.
I'd like to hear from anyone who has insight into this matter. Thanks.
