3 Common Signs of Heavy Metal Poisoning and How to Recover

Heavy metal poisoning is more common than most people think. Although everyone has a certain amount of heavy metals in the body, an excessive amount can trigger severe health issues. Understanding the signs of heavy metal poisoning and let you know when it’s time to detox and promote recovery.

What Causes Heavy Metal Poisoning?

Heavy metals naturally reside in the earth’s soil and can enter the body through food, drink, or environmental factors. You can also find them in medicines and specific industries. While the body needs trace amounts of iron, zinc, and copper, other heavy metals like lead and arsenic can harm body functions.

It’s common for many people to become exposed to heavy metals with little side effects. However, some people can have prolonged exposure, often triggering heavy metal poisoning. While this type of poisoning is rare in the United States, it’s essential to recognize the signs to seek immediate recovery.

Here are a few of the common signs of heavy metal poisoning:

Nausea and Vomiting

Although nausea and vomiting are common symptoms of many health conditions, they are the first signs of excessive heavy metal exposure, specifically arsenic poisoning. Detoxifying the body with suppositories is one of the quickest ways to absorb and eliminate toxins.

Fatigue and Weakness

If you know you’ve frequently encountered heavy metals and you’re experiencing chronic fatigue and weakness, you may have heavy metal poisoning. Muscle weakness and fatigue are common symptoms of arsenic and mercury poisoning.

Muscle Pain

Chronic cadmium, mercury, and arsenic exposure can cause muscle pain and weakness. Working near hazardous waste or another industrial setting makes it easy for heavy metals to settle in the body and reduce normal function. If left untreated, you may experience impaired motor and vision function.
