I've been hearing a lot about the dangers of lead in paint and water. What are some of the health effects of lead poisoning?

Lead poisoning can cause a range of symptoms, including fatigue, abdominal pain, constipation, headache, memory loss, confusion, and even death. In children, it can also affect their growth and development, causing lower IQs and behavioral problems. Long-term exposure to lead is especially dangerous as it can damage the kidneys, liver, and bones.
