Lead can also enter the body through household dust, nail biting, thumb sucking, or chewing on toys and other objects painted with lead-based paint. Although American paint companies nowadays must comply with strict regulations regarding the amount of lead used in their paint, this source of lead poisoning is still the most common and most dangerous.
