Lead poisoning

[Longtimebrown]

Has any long time package car drivers been diagnosed with lead poisoning? I worked in the warehouse four years and drove package car for thirty three years (retired three years ago). I started having hand tremors, Doctors are trying to figure out what caused them. Metals test revealed high lead levels. Just wondering if any other employees have been diagnosed with high lead levels. May want to educate current employees with these issues.

Sorry to hear your diagnosis. Curiously. What exactly would cause high lead levels at UPS?

It might be tough to prove it was work related

We used to joke about getting "Brown Lung" from breathing all the cardboard dust in the air.

But.... lead ? I can't imagine what the source would be.

And 3 years after retirement ? That will be a tuff nut to crack.
