Indiana: Lead Paint, Lead Poisoning (Part 1)

[ikecoalition]

@SuperArlene45 We're working on an update to the video and hope to include closed captioning so everyone can access it.

I was born into a house being remodeled DIY style back in the seventies. One section was over two hundred years old, the other continuously worked on, the entire 14 years I lived there, was built in the forties. As a preteen, I was helping sand and peel paint over summer breaks. I can only imagine what levels of contamination I was crawling through as an infant. I've been through hell, socially, mentally, financially, and emotionally. No one considered this factor, and put it all upon me. Joy.

...and in continuation to my previous post, you might notice my clear articulation, combined with reasonable grammar and spelling. 'Oh, he's fine' they say, just making excuses and malingering!' Every unimaginable effort to compensate, my hard work to overcome difficulties, and the utilization of technology to assist, just sets me up for further denigration in some form or another when a character flaw arises, a behavior is odd, or I fall flat on my face attempting to achieve an expected goal.

@QuantumJiggle Sorry to hear about your troubles. The U.S. was just paying attention to lead back in the 70s, even though Europe had banned lead paint in housing in the early 1900s. As the video shows, the most dangerous period is early childhood, but lead can affect teens and adults, too. The effects are life-long, as you are finding out. Thanks for sharing your story.

@QuantumJiggle

have you had your levels tested now????

you still may have lead stored in your bones!

[MsHobbyfarmer]

The "horror" of lead paint is just another way to generate revenue. Now we need inspectors, lead test kits, government studies, lead removal programs & professional removal contractors, new regulations for removal, more government oversight etc.. Bottom line, don't let your kids eat dirt or paint chips and paint over anything you think is lead!

@MsHobbyfarmer

that is rubbish!!!

we were contaminated by LEAD DUST, caused by dry scraping /sanding of lead paint on pressed metal ceilings

the dust settled on the walls and every surface, so we breathed it in, and ingested it by hand to mouth contact.

thank goodness for the inspectors, who found the levels of over 6000x the safe limit,who put an order on the house, so more people do not become contaminated,because a greedy landlord fails to decontaminate it!

And they continue to put mercury in the vaccines.

People my age were all raised around led paint. How did my generation survive?

We should all be dead..

One of the most pronounced effects of lead poisoning in adults is difficulty with spelling.

MrHabber

I heard about that , I also heard that some people become brain washed into believing everything our Government tells them. As fluoride is healthy for your teeth and aspartame is a safe artificial sweetener. Research rocket fuel found in baby formula. And margarine one molecule away from being plastic. But lead paint is dangerous ? lol ,lol Research lead paint prevents home surveillance

@TheRedPillNews

when you were young, the paint was most likely in good condition.

once it starts deteriorating, or is disturbed,by renovation, you get problems.

our whole family has just had to undergo blood lead tests, and our parrot is currently been treated for lead poisoning, and subsequent kidney impairment, and it has cost us a fortune, and been very distressing...we till don't know if we will be fine till the tests come back.

WE HAVE ONLY LIVED IN THE HOUSE FOR 4 WEEKS!

4 WEEKS!

@woodlandfruits Google and / or youtube lead in water

[woodlandfruits]

@woodlandfruits

thankfully we use an RO FILTER , so our water is pure, and the bird drinks it too, but it is frightening!

we also stay away from fluoride, by using the ro filter and my kids have never touched a drop of formula, so hopefully avoided some rocketfuel lol!

everytime we open or close a door the lead dust falls onto the floor, and we would be slowly poisoned here....

living in a new build house now seems a good idea, although one wont be as cute!

@woodlandfruits if you use a ro filter in taiwan the filter would be very black due to industrial pollution.

[woodlandfruits]

@98770

wow!

thats scary!

our water (now living in north wales,uk) is crystal clear, and comes from the mountains in snowdonia! we no longer use an ro filter, but i don't think we'd need to here!

[98770]

@woodlandfruits thats why in Taiwan they tell me not to drink the tap water.

@woodlandfruits be happy u and ur family is all good fuck the bird

[woodlandfruits]

@geekforlifevandc

we weren't actually! after only 3 weeks in the house, our lead levels were elevated, my childrens both being the highest in the family.

the levels in my husbands blood, tested 6 months later, had only halved, and he was used as a control level for the rest of the family, as it was too traumatic to test the children again- the doctors wouldn't do it.

[woodlandfruits]

@geekforlifevandc

as a result, we had to put off trying to have a 3rd child ,as it was dangerous to get pregnant with those levels.as i am now late 30's, we may have missed the boat on having another baby, thanks to the lead contamination! there was no way i was going to take the risk of still birth, birth defects, miscarriage etc, that lead can cause.

@geekforlifevandc

btw, pets are just as important as humans- he had no blame in being exposed to the toxins, and was just an innocent in it all and deserved to be cared for and treated just as much as any human member of the family! the treatment cost us $1500!
