I was using pencils from the mid 50's. I believe they took out the lead paint by the early 60's, but that was a quite a while back and as a kid, I don't remember much except that I was always being told not to chew on my pencil. Now, mind you only the paint used lead, not the center graphite core. I do believe the lead paint tasted a bit sweet....but since lead is supposed to reduce your IQ, I think it tasted sweet.
As for knowing about lead, I am a repository of great amounts of usually totally useless information. I also was a nuclear worker in the US Navy for a while and we used a lot of lead for shielding. There were times it felt like I could scratch my ankles without bending over.
