Great to hear. Do you know what the usual treatment is? I’m guessing DMSA and/or ETDA but curious if other approaches are commonly used.

That's a big reason for the testing: to identify the kids that are getting exposed to lead so that the cause of the exposure can be eliminated. Yes they also treat for the high lead levels in the body, but that will not do much good by itself if the kid goes home to the same environment.
