Let Freedom Ring With a Shotgun Blast!
Flash back to my younger days used to hold pellet in my mouth when I went on sniping missions( up in trees and on the shed roof ) haven't had any ill effects yet ( or so the voices in my head tell me !) Have known old veterans that have Shrapnel wounds that lived to ripe old ages . Lead dust and old lead paint exposure I think would be more of a concern . How many times did ya chew or suck on you pencil at school ?
Youll be fine, just don't do it every day from now on.I used to keep pellets in my mouth as a teenager while out bird and squirrel hunting, and chewed enough lead sinkers while fishing to sink a ship. I don't do either anymore. Ive been tested for lead and everything was fine. Don't worry about it
Lead poisoning -- not from handling bullets/brass. Maybe from smelting and casting lead bullets.. slightly higher possible levels. Shooting on a poorly ventilated indoor range ( vaporized lead) if you do it A LOT.
Most dangerous... drinking tap water in Michigan or in your century old house with lead plumbing.
i can't believe anyone this neurotic could own a firearm ...
Don't make a habit of it. You'll live.
To satisfy my curious nature..........how/why would someone end up with a toothbrush in their pocket?!?
next time you are at your DR ask for a lead test - in ON it is covered by OHIP
You will at least get a base line so you can see where you are
As most others have said, relax........you get more exposure to lead (and tons of other chemicals) than you know
I just took a course that implied that when used in conjunction with a firearm, they can prove deadly!
