	Bacteremia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bacteremia (Bacteræmia in British English, also known as blood poisoning or toxemia) is the presence of bacteria in the blood.
		Bacteremia is most commonly diagnosed by blood culture, in which a sample of blood is allowed to incubate with a medium that promotes bacterial growth.
		Occasionally, blood cultures will reveal the presence of bacteria that represent contamination from the skin through which the culture was obtained.

		Blood poisoning, or septicaemia, is a bacterial infection that occurs when bacteria get into the bloodstream and multiply rapidly.
		Blood poisoning is a potentially life-threatening infection that must be treated rapidly in order to prevent the infection from spreading to the heart and lungs.
		Blood poisoning commonly occurs as a complication of a serious infection, such as a kidney infection.

	Blood Poisoning
		lood poisoning (septicemia), is a serious secondary infection that occurs when bacteria from an infection in your body go out of control and travel in the bloodstream to other areas of the body.
		Blood poisoning occurs because an infection has become uncontrolled and escaped from the original wound area and entered the bloodstream.
		Usually blood poisoning is the result of infected incisions, wounds or burns etc however, it can be created by other types of infections such as urinary tract infections, pneumonia and boils.

		The Blood Typing Farce: About 95% of the population, who have blood type ‘O’ and ‘A’ which are the thinnest blood and lowest blood volume, and type ‘B’, have copper deficiency, due to slow poisoning from blood thinners/alkalizing chemicals and copper antagonists that they have saturated the food and food chain with.
		The major blood types are AB,B,A,O; type O is the thinnest with the highest alkaline pH level, the next being type A. Type B is the thickest of the blood types, and is in about 10% of the populations, and type AB is of normal viscosity and is in about 2-4% of populations.
		When the blood is consistently thin (copper deficient because of continual ingestion/absorption of blood thinners) the adrenals cannot keep up with the demand for ceruloplasmin, and consequently adrenal function slows down, and the unbound copper in the liver does not get transported to the blood where it is needed.

	The association between urban soil lead contamination and children's blood lead poisoning - Abstracts
		Blood lead concentrations were significantly correlated with concentrations of lead in "sink" soil (r = 0.555, P = 0.026), play area soil (r = 0.492, P = 0.016) and dust from vacuum cleaners (r = 0.428, P = 0.05), and with age of child (r = -0.182, P = 0.023).
		Blood lead levels in children correlated positively with the lead concentrations of outdoor floor dust and their hand dust, with correlation coefficients of 0.5186 and 0.2206, respectively.
		Blood lead levels were slightly higher for males than females and for pre-schoolers aged 3 and 4, compared to school age children aged 5 and 6.

	Blood Poisoning Information on Healthline
		Blood poisoning, also known as septicemia or sepsis, occurs when the bloodstream becomes infected by bacteria (i.e., staphylococci, streptococci) or fungi introduced through a wound, abscess, or other injury.
		Blood cultures can sometimes determine the presence of bacteria in the bloodstream once the infection has spread; however, blood cultures require 24 hours or longer to incubate.
		Blood cultures, wound cultures, and other diagnostic tests will help the healthcare provider determine which medication will be most effective.

		The symptoms of severe lead poisoning are often obvious: At extremely high levels, lead poisoning can cause seizures, comas, and even death in children.2 But even low concentrations of lead in the blood can cause symptoms such as reduced IQ, shortened attention span, problems with reading and learning, hyperactivity, and behavior problems.
		The data are used to help identify populations at risk for elevated blood lead levels and to help ensure that screening services are provided to groups with the highest risk of lead poisoning and that environmental and medical follow-up is provided to children with elevated blood lead levels.
		Based on 1998 data, 77% of the children in the Minnesota blood lead surveillance database reside in urban areas.3 Therefore, there is fairly reliable information on the prevalence of lead poisoning in urban areas of Minnesota but insufficient information on the prevalence in rural areas and for the state overall.
