Generally speaking, even if the prickly heat powder contains lead, adults can still use it because the lead in prickly heat powder is rarely absorbed through the skin, and if it is not eaten into the digestive tract or accidentally inhaled into the respiratory tract, it will not lead poisoning. However, if you have children under 6 years old, you should be careful when using leaded prickly heat powder for adults! Because adults will contaminate clothing, bedding, towels and other household items and the environment during the process of using lead-containing prickly heat powder at home, and children, especially infants, have more hand-to-mouth actions, like to chew their fingers and often put their fingers in their mouths to suck, so if there is lead-containing prickly heat powder on their hands, they will swallow and eat the lead by mistake, leading to lead poisoning. Of course, prickly heat powder containing official powder or Miyabi powder (alkaline lead carbonate) should definitely not be used for children. If you have used it on your child, please have your child’s blood lead checked as soon as possible. If the child is regularly given prickly heat powder that contains Miyazaki powder or government powder, then the child may have lead poisoning. Since there is no specific clinical manifestation of lead poisoning, parents and general practitioners cannot diagnose lead poisoning by clinical manifestation alone, and the diagnosis can only be confirmed by blood lead measurement. If your child has used prickly heat powder containing Miyazaki powder or government powder, please take your child to the hospital for a blood lead test!
