Must-have if your child is lead poisoned

This book was recommended to me by a local govt. housing worker, and it's EXCELLENT. It will scare you into action, but gives practical advice and lots of information that you just can't seem to find elsewhere. As the author says, while most lead poisoned children come from low-income housing, those with the worst lead poisoning tend to be from middle-income families living in an older home that has been or is being renovated. It's too bad that most kids are never tested for lead.
