Not consuming a few particles when consuming meat. Very little is absorbed into the blood in this manner.
It's breathing in microscopic dust or vapours that are risky.

Get the blood test if your worried.

But I won't be. I'll spend that money on more cup and core bullets.

In petrochems, working with old tanks requires blood lead tests. One guy resulted in sky-high levels, which resulted in stop work and full panic stations during the project. Finally tracked down the source after a pretty thorough investigation, sanding down an old house with minimal PPE (only a dust mask) and also working on classic cars. So you can pick up concerning levels of blood lead from commonly done work in NZ...
