Lead hides in everyday things. Old paint and dust in homes built before 1978, old toys, keys, costume jewelry, stained glass, even fishing sinkers. You cannot see it, but you can find it. The quiz works in Spanish and a dozen other languages, and it points you to exactly what to check.

Many baby foods now have to test for lead and post the results. You can check the lot number on the jar right there in the store. You can also see how much lead your family's everyday food might add up to.
No level of lead is safe in the body, and a simple finger-prick blood test is the only way to know for sure. The Salt Lake County Lead Poisoning Prevention Program will help you find and remove lead in your home, for free.
Spray it around your home and watch lead paint and glaze light up bright green. The full kit is normally $75. With the code below you get 75% off, so it is about $19 plus shipping.
