[QUOTE="del2les, post: 1926703, member: 9299"] Through the years and due to constant competitive shooting, indoor and outdoor, the casting of numerous lead bullets, eating a variety and lots of game shot with various lead projectiles, and varied military experiences that potentially exposed me to varied heavy metals, I have given blood for a few lead level checks, and so far, my levels run in the 7.5-8.1 mcg/dl. For an adult, those levels are considered normal with <10 mcg/dl considered ok. YMMV I recall a conversation with one toxicologist about my sport and lead poisoning potentials, and he was more worried about the numerous daily chemicals people expose themselves to everyday in their homes, jobs, offices, cars, foods, etc. After hearing him speak about the stuff used in our routine lives and products, it was eye opening. Heck, now even talcum powder is supposedly carcinogenic and has caused ovarian cancer in numerous women. Just think of everything in our homes, cars, fuels, paints, foods, etc, etc, etc. Its enough to make one psychotic and paranoid....."IF" you let it. 😉 [/QUOTE]
