I hope EVERY house they have ever visited, every hotel, motel they have ever stayed in, etc, etc, etc. EVERY TOY that they've purchased that may have been made in China has been thoroughly inspected.

The chances of Lead poisoning from the lead in fishing equipment is extremely.......EXTREMELY remote.

Old houses, hotels, toys, etc, etc have a significant risk factor. Houses with old paint, especially windows, where paint is "sanded off" by opening and closing the windows is MUCH more a risk.

So......with your great concern for lead poisoning, I surely hope you're doing all you can by inspecting every dwelling they may ever visit.
