Imagine your water pipes are like aging rock stars. They used to be awesome, but now they’re rusty and shedding old material. That’s lead from old plumbing, solder, or even some brass fixtures.
Lead is a neurotoxin. That’s a fancy word for “bad news for brains.” Kids and pregnant folks are the most at risk. But hey, nobody wants extra metal in their morning coffee.
