Flake White paint contains lead
Flake White (oil paint) contains lead.
Lead is a neurotoxic metallic element that can be absorbed by the body, primarily through the lungs and stomach and also through the skin. Lead poisoning occurs when too much lead accumulates in the body. Generally, lead poisoning occurs slowly, resulting from the gradual accumulation of lead in bone and tissue after repeated exposure.
Left untreated, lead poisoning can damage many internal organs, including the kidney, nervous system and brain.
Common symptoms of lead poisoning in adults are;
Fatigue, Depression, Heart failure, Abdominal pain, Gout, Kidney failure, High blood pressure, Wrist or foot weakness, Reproductive problems and Anemia.
There are many safe white oil paints on the market. Gamblin's Flake White Replacement is an effective and safe substitute for Flake White.
