It would be unusual to get lead poisoning from touching a door knob. In theory, if the door knob had been painted with a paint that contains lead, and if the paint was now flaking off and gets onto your hand, and if you fail to wash your hands before eating, and you get flakes of lead based paint into your food and eat it, then yes, you could get lead poisoning.

What is lead poisoning and what are the symptoms?

Lead poisoning occurs when people ingest lead. There can be lead in soil and some types of house paint. Also, some types of costume jewelry and toys made out of lead can cause poisoning. Touching lead and putting hands around the mouth can cause it to get in the body. Symptoms in severe cases can be digestive problems, headaches or fatigue. The symptoms tend to mimic other conditions, so testing needs to be done to see if it is lead or not. Blood tests and urine tests are done to check for lead poisoning.
