You used to be able to go to the hardware store, and buy powdered lead, linseed oil, turpentine, and tint to mix your own paint. This was the technology of the time, used worldwide. It is not unique to Sherwin-Williams.

Hundreds of millions of people grew up around lead paint and leaded gasoline and suffered no ill effects.

Yeah, I had my Pb and Hg levels checked a decade ago and were not above the concern level.

As a kid I never had the chance to eat peeling paint. All of the paint in the houses was fresh lead paint.

Plus no Asbestos issues.

We even got to monkey around with mercury in our hands and on desks as kids.

Still kicking [knock on wood].

Exactly!

So just WHY now, do some children get ill/or worse from said paint?

Well, when this all began, they said that the kids were EATING paint chips that had flakes off walls.

Now, they claim that it's just being around walls that have been painted over and over and over, but lead paint is underneath.

Since millions of kids grew up in homes that had paint containing lead in it and they were fine ( around leaded gasoline too and smokers! ) it does make one wonder about the real cause/s of today's children with "problems".

Someday they’ll discover that ‘being liberal’ rots out a person’s brain and causes early death... Just a question of time.

If eating lead paint was a problem why are Tide Pods still on the market?
