A Case of Lead Poisoning, Presenting with Non-Specific Symptoms, In A Middle-Aged Male

Lead poisoning, though increasingly rare in the developed world, remains a diagnostic challenge due to its nonspecific clinical presentation. This case describes a 35-year-old male presenting with non-specific symptoms , later diagnosed as chronic lead toxicity secondary to prolonged ingestion of a contaminated herbal medication. This report emphasizes the importance of a detailed history and high clinical suspicion in patients with unexplained anemia and gastrointestinal symptoms..
