My child's (2 years old) blood test showed that lead was detected or was in high concentration. \The doctor told me that we live in an old house and that the street was very quiet. The doctor asked us if we lived in an old house, and yes, it was very old. But we painted all the rooms ourselves before we moved in, and we don't touch the walls outside the apartment, and if we do, we wash them immediately.
But my thought is when I wash myself, my kids drink the water from the shower. Is that likely to be the cause if the water pipes are old ？ If so, I will immediately switch to a shower with a filter. The first blood test was taken from my finger, and the retest will be directly from my arm, so they will get a more accurate reading.
What if the lead level is still high on the retest ？ I'm very concerned because I did some research and found that it can cause learning problems.

What about popcorn ceilings, which I hear are also related to health problems
？.

The retest result was negative ！
I was very anxious until I got the results, wondering how such an error could have been made.
However, it was a learning experience for me to know about the lead problem. I don't know where they got my number, but I also got a call from the lead program. Popcorn ceilings are bad for you too. I would never touch the ceiling and I feel like it's not good for my skin, even if it's something normal. But if it's normal, I don't think it's enough to affect the baby.
