I had a conspiracy theorist tell me one time this is why they removed all the lead paint. It never quite made sense that kids were actually eating lead chips.

I know lead is bad for you, maybe a coincidence.
- linsomniac 1y ago>It never quite made sense that kids were actually eating lead chips You know that lead tastes sweet, right?
- jklinger410 1y agoI did not! I've never eaten lead lol
- meepmorp 1y agoApart from what the sibling poster said about lead (II acetate) having a sweet taste, little kids will put literally anything in their mouths. You ain't lived till you had to get dog shit out of a baby's mouth.
- Aurornis 1y agoEven old lead paint didn't have a lot of lead in it. A thin layer of lead paint with <1% lead does nearly nothing for WiFi signals. We use lead for shielding ionizing radiation like gamma rays, but even that uses a lot more lead than you'd find in paint. Not all "radiation" is the same thing.
- jklinger410 1y agoGood to know! Thanks for clarifying.
