Well, I'd think talking one on one with an expert would be better than internet.
yes...provided that "expert" actually knows what he's talking about. right-track just posted a link that outlines all the hazards of lead based paint. Funny your grandfather didn't mention any of that. I would have though an "expert" would be able to tell you more about all the ways in which lead paint can be hazardous to your health aside from "eating the paint".

On a side note, you say that everyone has different standards. When it comes to someone's health and safety, there isn't room for "different standards". There is only one standard, if it's not entirely safe, then it shouldn't be there. period.
