I should be a drooling imbecile by now. I shot for years at an indoor facility that would not allow jacketed bullets and that had terrible ventilation. After the range sessions if I blew my nose, the tissue would be black.
The real question is...If you were a drooling imbecile.... how would you know?
Quick! Check your shirt and see if it is wet....
maybe the gunpowder coated your nose before the lead settled.
My understanding is that the amounts that can cause problems are very small when it involves unborn or young children; I think there’s some evidence that even those small amounts *can* be harmful to a developing brain. I have seen little or no evidence of lead exposure effecting adults.
