How does this obvious badness manifest, exactly?

I can drink water from a lead pipe all day and suffer not even a headache.

EDIT I'm serious. What is the obvious manifestation? Because the manifestations I've heard of aren't so obvious.




If you do it for decades (or have low pH water?), you will slowly get dumber and probably get dementia or something.


Yes. But that isn't obvious. I asked for obvious.

Obvious is "every time I do it I get a headache".
