Is it really dangerous to strip the paint myself?

New Zealand sold many paints which had high lead levels until 1965. Even if your building has been recently painted, coats underneath may have been painted with lead based paints. It is safe to assume that if your building is more than 25 years old, it was most likely painted with lead based paint. This type of paint is extremely dangerous - not just to those in your immediate household but also to those who live or work nearby. If lead poisoning is not detected, or goes untreated, it can cause brain damage. It can even be fatal. That is why it is best to leave it to the professionals.
