Utmost hyperbole, as in --- borate October '80 Lead Poison continued from pa/1,e 71 at a hospital for a week for poisoning that caused their urinary excretion of lead to soar up to 80 times the normal rate. The source of the lead was paint which became loosened from a set of cocktail glasses after several trips through the heat and detergent of the family dishwasher. They were lucky to escape unharmed. Not so lucky was a · woman who was particularly fond of cooking hearty dishes in an earth-enware casserole from Mexico. When improperly fired, the lead-based glaze of such pottery can leach out upon con-tact with acidic foods. By chance, the woman's husband brought home an FDA warning sheet about such pot-tery. She recognized her recent symp-toms of headache and fatigue and took the casserole to be tested. Lead con::entrations in the casserole were extremely high. Unfortunately, the woman was pregnant at the time, and since her blood lead levels were so high, it was decided the fetus had already been permanently damaged and that she should have an abortion. In another case, an actress came down with strange symptoms. She be-gan losing her acting ability. Her hair fell out and she ended up in a wheelchair. Seeking a cause for her ail-ments, she became suspicious of some bone meal from a health food store she had been consuming daily to increase her calcium intake. Her diagnosis was right. The analysis showed the bone meal contained a high level of lead. It had come from old horses who had been exposed to lead all their lives. Benjamin Franklin would not be sur-prised that even at this late date lead still claims unwary victims. In 1786 he noted that the "mischievous effect from lead" had been known to scien-tists for at least 60 years. "You will ob-serve," he wrote with irony, "how long a useful truth may be known to exist, before it is generally received and prac-tised on."
