I cannot understand this comment: "Hospital officials said they were not concerned about the six to 200 other pieces of birdshot that might still be lodged in his body." I had to spend $20,000 to get rid of lead paint, in case someone decided to chew on the woodwork. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060215/ap_on_go_pr_wh/cheney_whittington And what's with six to two hundred? Isn't that a bit wide of a spread? Either the guy has an extra 194 holes him or he doesn't. How does he board a commercial airliner now that he's full of lead?
As a side note - why did you have to pay to remove lead paint? All you have to do is disclose it upon rental...and try to avoid renting to folks with young kids. Most buildings have lead paint - I have yet to ever "remove it." At most you put on a fresh layer of paint/latex.... How did you get screwed out of 20,000$?
The only hospital officials who can count are the ones who tally up the bills. P.S. Yeah, I just put a coat of latex over any lead paint, too. Maybe the hospital will put a coat of latex over the guy...
They may have been using steel depending on the environmental laws, and the area surrounding the hunting farm, open water etc close by In Canada you are required to use steel for bird hunting, lead shot next to open water is illegal I imagine the laws are similiar in the USA, there was a big push to ban lead shot a few years back
It can be a little more than just disclosing it.Try to avoid propertys that have wood siding, or next wood sided buildings. Lead paint will be found in the dirt. There was a lawsuit here in Louisville several years ago where a kid got sick, it was blamed on the neighbor's old sided house. Otherwise most lead paint problems are traced to the windows and the area around them.
