Quoted from Soonerbrink:

My daughter went to the doctor and had a high level of lead in her blood.

Wow, I feel for you. I live in a 100 year old house and every flake of paint is a potential poisoning. I ended up buying an industrial HEPA vac just for cleaning up after any paint work; it's rated for lead and asbestos work. I also use it for cleaning the basement, because who knows whats down there.

We made sure the kids were tested a lot when they were little.

We tell them never to put any toy in their mouth. My kids will flat out tell you that if it's made in China, it's poisonous and will make you stupid. 100% true? Probably not, but there are real safety issues with toys made overseas.

We had friends who had an issue with lead exposure. It was some dumb upcycled antique with flaking paint. Their daughter would eat the chips, because they had a sweet taste. Her words not mine, I didn't taste them. They were quite panicked until they found that source.

I hope the levels drop and you figure out where the source of the lead is coming from.
