Keep the Lead Out Plano-Frisco

Lead has been in the news quite a bit lately, with Exide Technologies as the focal point.  Exide Technologies operates a lead smelter just south of downtown Frisco.  Residents of Frisco and other surrounding cities such as Plano should be aware that this plant has some of the highest lead emissions in the country.

There are things you can do in your own home to help protect yourself and your family from lead exposure.  The recommendations below are from the EPA 

  • Clean floors, window frames, window sills, and other surfaces weekly. Use a mop, sponge, or paper towel with warm water and a general all-purpose cleaner or a cleaner made specifically for lead.
  • Cleaning dirty or dusty areas.
  • Wash children’s hands often, especially before they eat and before nap time and bed time.
  • Keep play areas clean. Wash bottles, pacifiers, toys, and stuffed animals regularly.
  • Clean or remove shoes before entering your home to avoid tracking in lead from soil.
  • Make sure children eat healthy and nutritious meals as recommended by the National Dietary Guidelines. Children with good diets absorb less lead.

Around Town-Lucky Layla Farms

If you haven’t tried Lucky Layla dairy products you should!  These products are produced locally at the Lucky Layla farm in Plano, and they are delicious.

My personal favorite is the drinkable yogurt.  I am not generally a fan of yogurt, but this yogurt is different, it’s like drinking a shake.  Lucky Layla says it is “ all-natural, we use real fruit pulp, no additives, no preservatives, active probiotic cultures LD. Bulgaricus and S.S. Thermophilus. Lucky Layla Farms drinkable yogurt is low in sugar, sodium and cholesterol.”  The flavors are delicious, my favorites are banana, strawberry and apple custard.  They are also so convenient since they are drinkable you can grab one and go.

I purchase them at Central Market, but if you check their website you can find other buying options.
