My baby sister ate lead paint. The baseboards were peeling and my father didn't have the time to paint them. She would crawl under the bed and peel it off and eat it. We had no idea what that would cause. After some months, we found her hallucinating and screaming. She was hospitalized and given a blood transfusion. She almost died. She was 4 years old at the time. My father immediately went and bought some lead-free paint (which they had just came out with) and painted the entire house. Lead poisoning is REAL.
All I remember is it almost killed her. After that, she hated the sound of ambulances and would cry and scream whenever she heard one. I think she thought they were coming for her.
Your body treats lead as iron,and stores it in the bones,making them weaker and affects the brain development and such. It's a real hazard for children.
Lead is very dangerous,it's very well documnted for a very long time.

They say the taste of the paint is sweet,and kids like it.
