[QUOTE="DocDoc, post: 1925532, member: 69144"] There is lead and then there are lead ions. Elemental lead, the metal, is not the problem. The metal can oxidize on the surface over time, and that could be a source of the lead ion that can denature protein in enzymes and is the real problem. That could happen for scavengers or ducks that ingest lead shot that has been exposed to air for a long time. Any elemental lead from bullet fragments should pass through the digestive system fairly rapidly. [/QUOTE]
