<br/><br/> "By age 3, Avery Kukla stopped talking. He had trouble sleeping and couldn't concentrate. He screamed uncontrollably at church organ music and renditions of 'Happy Birthday.' The outbursts baffled his parents. Doctors, therapists and social workers wrestled with the boy's poor language skills and behavior problems....For three years, nobody suspected that Avery Kukla was being poisoned." (DETROIT FREE PRESS) The authors present the problems associated with lead poisoning and suggest that "despite decades of public education campaigns and new laws, old paint is still the No. 1 cause of lead poisoning among the nation's young children."
