Thread: Lead bullets and their risk to human health

I used to machine tons of lead in the 90's, luckily the company did things quite responsibly. We were warned about smoking/eating with dirty hands but my blood tests showed a steady increase in the lead levels. It eventually came back down but they didn't put me back on those jobs for a few years. It must of been bad as hell for the guys smelting it if my minimal contact increased the levels in my blood, however contact via meat hunting wouldn't concern me in the slightest.
