Can showering in well water with a lot of lead or sediments make you sick or feel sick? it stains everything rust .

Well water/lead: Yes. Your well water should be checked frequently. No amount of lead is thought to be safe for humans. This is a dangerous situation for you and the family. Be alert and keep checking.
