The Mayo Clinic says that Blood is not the best place to screen for arsenic. That screening urine is a better test. They say that arsenic rapidly dissipates from the blood and seeks tissue protein. I am VERY surprised your physician ordered a blood test to look for arsenic and even more surprised that arsenic was found. Here, you can see what the Mayo Clinic has to say.
