Lead Paint and Heavy Metal Toxicity

[Guest guest]

For those of you who have dealt with high lead, maybe you can lend me some

insight. We are currently house hunting and we came across a beauty

yesterday. It was built in 1760 and was part of the revolutionary war and

the freedom trail. The thing is, its got a ton of lead paint. DS is

already high in arsenic and antimony, so I am worried that moving into a

house with lead paint will add to his problems. Is it only ingestion or is

off gassing a problem too? What do I need to know before even thinking about

buying an old house like that? TIA!
