I'm surprised that there isn't more awareness of the problem. Hopefully the Flint publicity will help. looks like there is advice online but I've never heard anyone mention it despite living in an area with lots of old houses.
> Have your child's blood lead level tested at age 1 and 2. Children from 3 to 6 years of age should have their blood tested, if they have not been tested before and:
They live in or regularly visit a house built before 1950,
They live in or regularly visit a house built before 1978 with on-going or recent renovations or remodeling
They have a sibling or playmate who has or did have lead poisoning
