A 23-year-old female has visited university hospital for abdominal colic and constipation. She took home-made herb pills for 15 days as a traditional remedy for skin eczema. On clinical examinations, conjunctiva was pale, sclera was icteric and lead line was visible on gingiva. Laboratory examinations are as follows; hemoglobin was 8.6g/$d{ell}$, reticulocyte was 4.2% and there was basophilic stippling of erythrocytes in peripheral blood smear. Blood level of lead was elevated as $69{mu}g/d{ell}$. The herb pills contained 3.32% lead, with cumulative dose of lead over 3.2g. The herb pills were manufactured by a 70-year-old man who was not aware of the health hazard of lead. We suppose that he made herb pills with the imported raw materials from China that contained a high percentage of lead.
