Ask Tamara: What are the symptoms of childhood Lead poisoning?

Ask Tamara: How quickly did Avi’s blood Lead level (BLL) go down after he was poisoned?

#LeadedHousehold: Lead in Hoses

My son Avi’s first ever Blood Lead Level (BLL) Test, from November 4, 2005 (when he was just 9 months [+ 7 days] old).

Vintage Syracuse china “Old Ivory” bowl with gold trim: 31,400 ppm Lead. For context: 90 ppm is unsafe for kids.

Vintage Syracuse plain white ceramic dish, “Carefree” Serene pattern: 30,600 ppm Lead. 90 ppm is unsafe for kids.

Syracuse China “Old Ivory” “Made In America” Tea Cup: 26,200 ppm Lead [90 ppm Lead is unsafe for kids.]

Butterfly pressure cooker (from India) valves: 120,500 ppm Lead. 90 is unsafe. This was a likely source of poisoning for a child.

#AskTamara: Does Vintage Fiestaware Have Lead? Does New Fiestaware Have Lead?

Modern White Fiestaware Tea Cup: 40 ppm Lead when tested with an XRF instrument (safe by all standards).
