Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Report Posted April 4, 2006 The bathtub the kids have bathed in for the last 5 yrs just tested positive for lead It just makes me sick. I guess I need to get their levels checked. Ds had a hair test 3 yrs ago and his hair level was 0.89 (reference range <1.0). I hope its ok now. Does a blood test for lead only check recent exposure? If so anyone know how recent. Quote
Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Report Posted April 4, 2006 Do any of you who are testing bathtubs for lead know how old your houses are? Mine was built in 1973, and I certainly have sufficient heavy metals in my system without adding more lead :-(.

The tub is a old cast iron claw foot tub. I don't know how we'll get it out of our small upstairs bathroom but I'm determined it has to go. Quote
