No Lead Bullets

PJgunner, You guys did it all,------if you were trying to have high lead levels in your blood! Small room, with no ventilation, smoking , drinking, eating, and I'll throw in having a good time.
I am always into guns or ammunition and should have a lead problem, but I have other habits and problems that helped me out. I have sinus problems, so I have always taken large doses of vitamin C. Turns out that helps shed lead from your system. Since I am always into the guns or ammunition, my hands are usually needing a washing, and I wash them quite often. The first wash should be with cold water so your pores din't open up and hang onto the lead contamination. Then use plenty of soap a brush to get your hands clean. Don't eat without washing your hands first. Don't smoke in an environment where lead contamination may be present in the air. When I am melting lead, I have an exhaust fan going right over the melting pot. If I am melting large quantities, I do that in my garage with the doors up and a large fan pulling fresh air in the back door and blowing across the work area out the big doors. Just seemed like a good thing to do. My blood has very little lead contamination.
