I've been hearing a lot about the dangers of lead paint. Is there any truth to what I've heard?

There is some truth to it, but not as much as you might think. Lead paint was banned in the United States in 1978, and most paints today are lead-free. However, lead paint can still be found in older homes, especially those built before 1978. It's important to check for signs of lead paint in your home and take steps to reduce exposure if necessary.
