Kids don't have to eat the paint to be unsafe. Even sores like wee scrapes or cuts can get infected the same way being stabbed with a pencil causes lead poisoning. The mouth isn't the only entry to the human body.
well....I don't know about that. some_exotic_booze's grandfather said you had to actually eat the paint for it to be harmful....and he IS an "expert"....so what he says MUST be true....
