CDC recommends testing blood for lead exposure. Two types of blood collection tests may be used:
• Capillary sample: A finger-prick or heel-prick is used to take a small amount of blood to test for lead.
• Venous sample: A small amount of blood is taken after a needle is inserted into the patient’s vein to test for lead.
