Imagine drinking water from a pipe made out of lead, like a metal that can seep into your drink. That's what the ancient Romans did, and it might have caused them to get sick or even go mad. Their fancy plumbing was great, but using lead pipes wasn’t so smart.
Examples
- Drinking wine from a glass that was stored in a lead jar might make you feel sick.
- Imagine getting mad at everyone around you just because of the water you drank every day.
