    Dude if when you get hunted or fished meat and it has lead in it, take it back and get a refund.

    I’m talking about regions where it’s not uncommon to hunt and eat what you shot, not going to Albertsons.

    you can handle lead perfectly safely, just dont lick it, aerosolize it, smelt it, or fucking drink it and you should be fine.

    • Or eat a sandwich without washing your hands after setting up your fishing rig.

    How many people wash their hands immediately after handling fishing gear or projectiles and then go on to itch their eye, pick their nose, etc. There are many vectors for lead in your hand to get into your body. And if you do this often and are young, it could conceivably have an effect.
