Are you saying a stork bite is an indication of SNs? Has this been scientifically confirmed? Do all races get stork bites?

How is this possible? It’s not the 1970s anymore. People know this stuff.

I'm the PP. You would be shocked how common it is. I'm on a group of lead poisoned kids moms. Its tragic really.any apt or house built before 1980 is at risk. Lead is in lots of toys. In our case, apartment had chipped lead paint that landlord reassured us wasn't lead.

It happens to rich kids and poor kids. Do some research

We screened and we knew but no way was I getting rid of my daughter. I have 2 cousins who have Ds so I knew it was no big deal (in our family) as we do not treat any of our children differently. You have never attended a more fun birthday party than one made up of mostly Ds kids. Guaranteed. Happiest kids on earth.

NP.

Water treatment methods / ancient lead pipes bringing water to your home. It is an an issue in many cities, not just Flint. Was a problem in DC in early 2000s, for example.

Both my kids have some issues but first far more significantly.

Yes! There was a report on what happened in DC but it wasn't widely distributed. They changed the chemical used to disinfect water at treatment plants from chlorine to monochoramine. This simple change then resulted to a change in the PH of the water, so as it traveled down the old leaded distribution pipes to our homes, the lead was now leaching out of the pipes. I haven't heard reports of this happening in other parts of the country, but Lord knows these kinds of changes don't usually happen in isolation. Lead poisoning from our water was likely going on everywhere in the country.
