Lead paint poison
I think that lead paint is serious poison...
My oldest son was lead paint poisioned as a child and we went through some expensive and difficult chelation therapy. He never ate paint...we learned that with some people, merely touching the paint (even when it is dry!) can be absorbed into the body through the skin. Lead in the body is stored in the soft tissues (i.e., the brain). An overload will quickly and silently cause brain injury and eventually lead to a painful death.
I am glad that the government is fussy about these things...and I hope it gets even fussier on these environmental issues...
