Seven years ago, we met Caitlin Szontagh and her boys, who were exposed to toxic lead. She's written an update to her original blog, "When 'Special' Equals 'Sick,'" to describe some of the challenges of living with a victim of lead poisoning. bit.ly/Blog_2510C

Besides paint, lead poisoning can come from old water service lines, contaminated soil (from exterior paint or vehicle exhaust fumes), antique or imported toys, cookware, baby food, ammunition, costume jewelry, and other products. Learn more: bit.ly/Facts_CLP_En

The CDC estimates that approximately 500,000 kids in the U.S. have blood lead levels at or above the reference value, and that number stays roughly the same each year. That's why it's important to educate everyone about lead poisoning. #NLPPW2025 #ILPPW2025 #LeadFreeKids #PublicHealth

Lead is a poison, and the damage it causes is permanent. Schedule periodic blood tests to ensure your little one is safe from lead poisoning. Any lead detected in your child's blood is cause for concern.

Toxic lead can be found everywhere: in old paint (pre-1978), drinking water, soil, and many consumer products. NCHH, CEHN & NAFCC created the "Lead-Safe Toolkit for Home-Based Child Care" a few years back, but the info is useful anywhere. bit.ly/Lead-SafeToo... #NLPPW2025 #ILPPW2025 #PublicHealth

In homes built before 1978, remediating damaged paint is not a chore you add to the bottom of your to-do list. It's also not something you should fix yourself. Hire an EPA-licensed contractor who will do the work safely. Learn more: bit.ly/Blog_2102C #NLPPW2025 #LeadFreeKids #ILPPW2025 #PublicHealth
