Thanks Deb, I agree with you. But to someone who wants to state that everything is 100% lead free the real vs perceived hazard from lead doesn't seem to be their concern. I did try to explain some of these points.

My kids actually ended up with detectable levels of heavy metals in their blood while my Ex and I were renovating our house when they young. Another family member didn't believe me when I told them all the painted wood needed to be taken to the dump and not burned in the wood stove. I came home from work one day and found that a lot of wood that I had not carted away myself had been burned that day, and boy was I angry. I had the kids tested and luckily the levels weren't high enough to need treatment but it was completely avoidable. The person responsible felt terrible but I wish they had just understood and believed me in the first place.
