Wishing all May babies a DINO-mite birthday!

New York State requires doctors to test all children with a blood lead test at age 1 year and again at age 2 years. A blood test is the only way to know if your child has been exposed. The lower the test result, the better.

Lead exposure can cause serious health problems, especially in young children. It can harm a child’s growth, behavior, and ability to learn.

Visit www.cayugacounty.us/NHFL for more information and be sure to have your child tested.
