Lead Poisoning

Lead poisoning would also result in epilepsy and produce seizures. If children experience this condition, epilepsy would even affect their psychological development. While lead is a common metal, it can be very dangerous after penetrating the body. This substance would cause permanent damages in some brain areas. For this reason, you should take precautions when working with lead-based products, especially paint. To protect your children, prevent them from peeling paint. Also, wash their hands and toys frequently, as well as wipe windows and mop floors on a regular basis to reduce the risk of exposing to lead dust. [5]
