How Lead Poisoning Is Diagnosed

For older children and adults, testing is typically only done if there’s a reason to believe they’ve been exposed to high doses of lead. In these cases, your practitioner will likely start with a series of questions about your environment, do a physical exam, and run a blood test to check for high lead levels in the body. Self-Checks/At-Home Testing Lead toxicity is primarily diagnosed using a formal lab test in a clinical setting, but there are a number of things you can do at home to check if you or a family member is at risk....

How Long Does Borderlands 3 Take To Beat

For those wondering how long Borderlands 3 will take to beat, this has recently been addressed by the game’s creative director, Paul Sage. Specifically, it has been reported that Sage confirmed the Borderlands 3 main story at around 30 hours. That said, Sage further emphasizes that this 30 hour completion time will only occur for those players that truly “beeline it through” the Borderlands 3 story. This certainly seems to suggest that players who will focus on thoroughly exploring the Borderlands 3 worlds, and pursuing the game’s side quests, will get a great deal more longevity out of the title....

How Many Gays Are There

But new evidence suggests that ideology, not sound science, has perpetuated a 1-in-10 myth. In the nearly half century since Kinsey, no survey has come close to duplicating his findings. Most recent studies place gays and lesbians at somewhere between 1 and 6 percent of the population. While experts say these survey results are biased by underreporting from reticent participants, the gap is still significant. Some gay activists now concede that they exploited the Kinsey estimate for its tactical value, not its accuracy....
