[QUOTE="nralifer, post: 2764505, member: 94556"] Just read a case report of a woman who had ingested some lead shot probably from eating game. Her blood level of lead was very high. An abdominal x-ray was done and showed a 6 mm shot in her colon which she eventually passed after a bout of diarrhea. Her blood lead level decreased to 1/10th the level it was when she had symptoms, which by this point had stopped. She apparently had retained that shot for some time in the GI tract which favored continued lead absorption. If you want to eat lead and feed it to your children, be my guest. I don’t. Lead core bullets are inconsistent and potentially toxic. I have had my share of bad hunting experiences with them and no longer use them to hunt with. [/QUOTE]
