Default RE: Lead Poisoning??? Please Take a Look

When ever you see someone blowing the warning whistle on things like this.. you need to examine who has what to gain and what to loose. You also then have to examine who is blowing the whistle. Then you have to use common sense. I've been eating game both wild and domestic that we shot with lead bullets, for years. It would be interesting to test some of the blood of old hunters that have eaten lead shot game and see what the lead levels really are in their blood stream. I would bet if they did, they would not find it all that high.

Although I do admit that after working on casting bullets, or shooting on the range, I do wash my hands very carefully to rid them of any foreign substances. But I wash my hands after working in the garden or going to the bathroom too...
