Marta: For most people, a little lead paint on the skin will not absorb enough to be even noticable on a blood test - you would have to paint your entire body for a week for regular skin absorbtion to become a problem. Lead is generally absorbed into the body via breathing in dust, or ingesting. Even then, you would have to breathe or eat a considerable amount for it to show up and even more for it to cause health problems. I have a blood test done every couple of years just to be safe - so far (I have only had one test) no problems. I would advise anyone worried about it to do the same.
