Lead poisoning, also known as painter’s colic or plumbism, is a condition brought on by excessive amount of lead in the blood. The average person has about 10 parts per million, ppm, of lead in their blood. Those with an unusual amount of lead exposure would have over 20 ppm, and most clinic symptoms of lead poisoning occur in people who have over 100 ppm on their system. Lead poisoning symptoms can range from the minor, such as insomnia, rashes, poor appetite, to the major, such as reduced IQ, seizure, and coma.

Lead poisoning is a common occupational hazard of construction workers. Outside this, however, the majority of lead poisoning occurs in children under the age of 12. The main source of the exposure comes from the ingestion of lead paint chips. This is especially a problem in older homes. It does not help that the lead chips have a sweet taste due to the nature of the metal.

Lead poisoning is very dangerous to one’s health. Through many studies a direct link has been established between lead poisoning and learning disabilities and lowered IQ’s.

Once exposed, lead’s toxic properties mimic the properties of other important minerals in the body such as iron and zinc. The lead would then bond with the same proteins as those minerals, there by hampering the ability of the protein to carry out functions vital to the health of the body.
