That's correct. Usually, once a parent discovers that their child has a continuing problem with a specific metal, they have to make certain lifestyle changes to keep the exposure risk as low as possible. Usually this just means spending extra on certified lead-free cookware, making sure to drink filtered water, that sort of thing. But I know one family who replaced all their carpeting with hardwood floors after they discovered it was off-gassing something their kid was sensitive to, another who petitioned their school's janitorial staff to switch brands of cleaning chemicals, and another who went so far as to move away from their urban industrial home to an area with significantly less air pollution--though to be fair, part of that decision was also rooted in getting into a better school district as well.
