Marty, you’d have lead in your veins, much like me. Started with a mouth full lead paint off the cot, then learning to burn lead paint off the house with an acetylene torch and scraper, then the early teens, with a mouth full of slugs.
Then into the big time, reloading! Casting lead projectiles, without correct ventilation and learning to burn them was a few years away.
In my 60s I became a bit more cautious, 15 years later and I don’t care.
I have a mate, now in his 80s, makes my effort of lead poisoning fade into insignificance. Got tested for lead poisoning every year, gave up testing in his 70s, never had a positive result.
