Lead is also found in the bible book of exodus 15:10. This states that is has been around for over 7000 years old. To tell just how seirious lead can be I will tell you thei sad and short story. Once a man named Caravaggio was a wonderfull painter. I do not know that much about him,but he died a short life and no one knew why. Scientists looked at his bones and found that he was so lead high that he could have gone ad. I sudgest that he consumed lead by licking his paint brush.
