[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 565072, member: 84"] katya is right. Could be coming from nearly anywhere. Does Mandy enjoy yard sales? Are her dishes 2nd hand? (doesn't even have to be 2nd hand, you have to watch some dinner ware for lead just based on where it's made) Toys made in various places. Maybe not the actual house plumbing but there might be lead pipes in the yard leading up to the house. They [B]do[/B] need to find the source. It's important for the baby's safety. And that "source" can turn out to be the most innocent looking item. If the baby doesn't visit often, you're most likely not the source. You said before Mandy likes to go "out" and hang other places. Does the baby tag along? Could be one of those places are the source if she frequents it enough. She may find herself stripping those family hand-me-downs and repainting them before this is done. What does the baby like to chew on a lot? Anything? The house we rented before buying this one was a younger house (this one is like 1880, that one was 1900) but still quite old and not exactly what I'd call a winner as far as looks are concerned. We signed the lead paint waver when we rented. Landlord had just purchased the house (I knew that for a fact, my friend nearly bought it) and wanted to rent it right away. I didn't worry about it because there were no small children in the household. I never gave it a thought when Katie came to live with us, I'd forgotten about it. But we'd repainted much of the house..........and was never an issue, Kayla's tests all came back fine. I hope they find the source of lead quickly. [/QUOTE]
