There was a case in the UK in the 80s or 90s where a young woman working as a nanny was charged with murder after shaking a baby so violently it died. She had been brought up next to a facility used in manufacturing the lead additives then used in fuel. There was talk that she had been exposed to lead and it affected her behaviour.
I think that was the gist of it and I think it was in the Merseyside area IIRC.
(Was her surname Woodword or similar?)
I wonder why there weren't more killer plumbers and roofers back in the day?
I remember the case, didn't remember about the lead issue.
No, seriously I was thinking of them handling lead and then eating & smoking without washing their hands.
Perhaps they weren't eating it as they grew up.

High concentrations of lead in Roman human remains have been attributed to its use in their plumbing systems and cooking utensils and its effects are thought by some to have contributed to the decline and fall of the Roman Empire.
Any lead piping still in existance has plastic inner-piping.
