Long-term exposure through drinking water is a recognised cause of skin and internal disease in affected areas.
Seafood contains a harmless organic form in quantity, so a meal of fish or shellfish in the previous two days can raise total arsenic several-fold with no exposure to the toxic form -- which is why speciated testing exists and why diet before the draw matters more here than almost anywhere.
Worth discussing a raised value, and worth saying what you ate beforehand.
